It is perfectly normal to have a writer like 魯迅 in such time, it is also perfectly normal to have political leaders like Mao in such time, or even now. So it isn't really about what choices Mao or Lu Xun had - they didn't. To be fair, they just acted according to their characters and talents - it is more about what choices China had. Perhaps, China didn't have much to make a choice. In Buddhist term, 福德不够 in that time.
After, it hasn't turned out that bad, especially when put in comparisons with the experiences of many other non-western nations in the past few centuries. Many ceased to exist.
What I am against is justifying the unjustifiable, especially when it is a consequence of the unjustifiable, for, it is particularly misleading.
