Because all revolutions end in fascism? I mean they are pretty much the same anyways, at worst it would get marginally worse but it could get a lot fucking better than a 3rd world shit hole the citizens are forced into

I want to add that, no, the revolution did *not* replace the monarchy. They came about after it had already fallen and China was under the control of the Japanese. Mao's revolution was MUCH worse since it resulted in millions of deaths, economic deprivation, and general terribleness all around. Even if you are massively pro-communism there is little to deny that things were worse for China under Mao than under the Emperors. If Mao's communism had remained in place it's likely that China would still be basically a third world nation as chinese peasents tried to make steel in their back yards. It was only following the loosening of the old communist ideals that a bit of prosperity could even begin in their nation. Even now China is still a terrible country to live in in terms of service unless you are in one of the more industrial areas. Go out west into the more rural areas, or even just slightly away from major cities, and the QoL drops MASSIVELY!
