This phrase is a pejorative for Communists; it is more or less equivalent to the term 'commies' in English.

Let us assume the parent was being on topic and relevant. Therefore they seem to indicate the censoring was due to it being perjorative. As most other perjoratives are not typically censored (per my comment), that would imply that the "Communist Bandit" perjorative is somehow special.
Is it special because it's somehow especially worse than other perjoratives, or is it special because it offends a foreign state's political party?
>the parent clearly felt that the phrase being perjorative was tied to it being censored.
How do you come to this conclusion? In my view the comment is not implying anything at all, it is merely translating (not only using a direct translation but also conveying the implications of the phrase "communist bandit"). The word "pejorative" adds to the translation. There is nothing in the original comment that says anything about censorship at all.
Google is siding with a fascist prison-state over Americans' right to free speech, it is deplorable.
And furthermore, the only real justification for a global ban for a US-based company could be "hate speech," which clearly enough communist operatives claimed it was, but just because somebody's feelings are hurt doesn't make something hate speech, it doesn't come down to cancellation politics.
In other words, Google is siding with the Party Room of Control because Google is not an American company. If they were, they would not let this stand.
