too many factors, a series of books can be written on this subject. For now, can we agree that what happened happened, and China at the moment can be much worse.
Well ofcourse, that's not hard to agree with. But it's a double edged sword, this statement.
Talking 1945, end of WW2. Mao had 5000 men if that by 1927, and few guns with no cities.
What happened directly after WWII is like shrouded in a cloud of war. Soviets helped a lot, with captured Japanese equipment, at stalling KMT troops to reach Manchuria, example is US airlift of KMT troops over USSR held territory in the north which was already swarming with CCP in the countryside. etc etc.....
And at the end of WWII communists had more men. As for 1927.....where you refer to 5000 men, well, that was a start of CCP insurgency. It had to start somehow.
KMT was a loose entity that was comprised by many different warlords, they were not similar to today's CPC at all.
Well, idk, KMT's first election on Taiwan was in the 70's iirc. Quite similar to CCP authoritarianism i'd say.
