Obviously, context matters.

In a socialist society? Absolutely.

In a capitalist society? No, because such laws would inevitably be interpreted in such a way as to provide a pretext for going after the left, as has been the case in many of the post-Stalinist states in Eastern Europe, where verbal invectives against the parasitic bourgeoisie has been made into 'hate speech,' when it is clearly not.
