Wouldn't that depend upon which side of the ideological boundary one fell upon?
To the original point though I would also argue that 'social cleansing' borrows its terminology from 'ethnic cleansing' and whilst we all might agree that nothing is being 'cleansed' the phrase is useful as it is a vile and disturbing phrase being used to describe something vile. It implies things that make most people (rightly) feel uncomfortable and angered, and that there is still such a thing to many as an 'undesirable population' and that they are being washed from the face of their neighbourhoods.
