This phrase is a pejorative for Communists; it is more or less equivalent to the term 'commies' in English. EDIT: Please don't downvote me for contributing relevant facts to the discussion. I do not support censorship.

If that's the case, shouldn't Youtube ban words like 'cuck', 'libtard' and 'snowflake'?

Youtube doesn't censor most pejoratives in comments, as you can tell by reading any of the comments.

Yes. I wonder why the Thought Police are going so easy on "Hate".
