Morphology
The meaning 'a political party that advocates communism' is directly and transparently compositional from 'communist' (advocating collective ownership/party rule) + 'party' (a political organization). A B1 learner who knows both constituents can reliably infer the MWE's basic meaning, though country-specific facts (e.g., being the sole legal party) are extra pragmatic knowledge, not needed to understand the compound.
Etymology
Communist Party: The name Communist Party comes from communist, a word for people who want things to be 'shared' by everyone, and party, meaning a political 'group'. So a Communist Party is a political group that wants to make land and money shared, and in some countries it became the 'only legal party'.
