In fact, when Mao started that he wasn't even in charge of a state yet!
Most of the purges started when the ROC retreated and the peasants could do what they wanted without a capitalist state protecting their oppressors
The Communists actually regulated the violence. It would probably have been even worse if they didn't cannel it into trials. Even if those trials were show trials.
