It can be a valid tactic in limited circumstances.
Exhibit A: Germany and Defensive Democracy, banning nazi parties and the “communist” party (not very communist btw, just a USSR proxy), also criminalizing overt hate speech.

There are sadly leftists who have embraced censorship as a virtue.
But I am one socialist who never will.

A double-edged sword.
Nothing sickens me quite like Israel’s on-going genocide and America’s carrying water for it
