Notice how the You Tube censors scratched out the phrase " as Karl Marx pointed out long ago " . Is a Karl Marx quote automatic HATE SPEECH ?

Early this morning I listened to an NPR radio station here in New England ( 89.7 ) giving voice to the plight of the people of Puerto desperately trying to survive terrible hurricanes, natural disasters, and government corruption with little help from " colonial " ruler USA.
People self-organized ( always the threat of " socialism " here ) just to keep from starving encounter landlord PRIVATE PROPERTY rights with claims on Puerto Rican real estate ( much abandoned , deteriorating old buildings like the former Social Security Center ) Naturally the bourgeois government as Karl Marx pointed out long ago is very fascist minded and ever ready to serve the interests of Corporate America. Clearly in Puerto Rico it is not diabolic " communism " that has caused poverty , starvation, and hopeless depression. It is old fashioned mean spirited, heart of stone American capitalism and imperialism.
Puerto today could easily become the next Cuba 1959 !
The 89.7 radio program made clear that young -and educated - Puerto-Ricans are now the vanguard of reconstructing that island-nation after years relentless economic, social, and natural afflictions. A lot of the dialogue is translated into English without losing any of its poignancy.
