In my opinion, although both stories are different situations, they both have the same intentions and outcomes. The first story was of peasants rising up against crime and throwing out the new order. They began with somewhat of a trial, asking for the evidence of the crimes committed by the person in question. However, as the meeting went on, it turned to violence. This is the same as in the second story, except that the red guards started with violence. They were both fighting against the oppression of the previous rule, and they both did so with violence (eventually).
The end goal is the same, which is that the previous rule will be abolished, and the ones responsible will be punished. The second one seemed harsher, because they stormed into a wife of an oppressors house, with no questions asked, and started to tear down her house. The first story was much more civil at first, even though it eventually turned to violence (it ends with the men charging at the ruler, ready to fight).
