Sure, but for this argument I think the most recent Chinese Civil war to present (1927- ) will suffice. I don't give the KMT a free pass either just because they were buddy-buddy with the "West". Different sides of the same autocratic coin if you ask me.
edit: And before this devolves any further, no I don't give the "West" a pass for its tyrannical tendencies either...
