They didn't take it over "forcibly", they took it over with popular support from the Chinese people. If that doesn't grant you legitimacy I honestly don't know what would.

Popular support would be democratic elections. That's not what happened - it was a civil war, fighting the KMT supporters.

The reason it had popular support is because USSR gave them money and resources, presumably just for this reason.
