ABSTRACT
The refractory aspect of terror in movement-regimes has not only been identified by scholarly analysts, but by repressive regimes themselves which have promulgated statements about the problems of controlling the violence that has been instigated by their own campaigns against designated enemies. The People's Liberation Army itself, having been severely restricted in its actions, had not yet been able to get Beijing to accept its estimation of the severity of the unregulated terror and destruction being wreaked by the radical Red Guards. The worst unregulated terror occurred when it became a form of "populist" terror. As was true with the National Socialist movement as a whole, Hitler's Jewish policy did not follow one consistent plan. The pattern of persecution of the Jews was determined by factional rivalry within the Nazi Party leadership over a solution to the Jewish Problem, just as other decisions and policies were the outcome of temporary success of one faction relative to another.
