The nationalists killed a shit ton of people too. And were also led by a dictator. There really wasn't going to be a government for the people even if they won.

Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan during the civil war and now Taiwan is one of the largest democracies in Asia.
Nationalist government was a dictatorship, but it was authoritarian, not totalitarian how Mao's China and USSR was. The living conditions were much better.
