Didn't the Cultural Revolution wither because Mao died? The upheaval was Mao's attempt to purge the supposed wishywashy and consolidate power against others in the party.

Didn't go far enough or just didn't have the arms to fight the military controlled by the rest of the party? Didn't go far enough principle wise to gain the support of the military?
