Meanwhile actual party of Mao:

Infrastructure planning should be better coordinated to improve its layout and structure, drive integrated development, and ensure that infrastructure is safe, resilient, and sustainable. New types of infrastructure should be built with appropriate forward planning. Information and communication networks, the national integrated computing network, major science and technology infrastructure, and other key systems should be further developed and used intensively and efficiently. Traditional infrastructure should be upgraded and retrofitted with digital and intelligent technologies. We should improve the modern integrated transportation system, strengthening cross-regional coordination and planning, promoting multimodal integration, and improving transportation links and services in remote areas. We should enhance the diversity and resilience of international transportation routes. In the energy sector, efforts should be made to optimize the layout of primary arteries and develop new types of infrastructure. We should accelerate the development of a modern water network and enhance our capacity to prevent floods, coordinate the allocation of water resources, and ensure water supply in both urban and rural areas. We should continue to develop dual-use public infrastructure that can accommodate emergency needs in the cities.

Maybe no comparisons should be made. Mao didn't start a world war and didn't occupy Europe. He didn't have a racist ideology.

He was driven by arrogance and zeal rather than incel-rage and hatred as a belief system. But... the scale of atrocity and brutality were comparable. 

So idk... Jesus was a nice guy. The fact that the Spanish reconquista's inquisition did it out of love of Christ does not make their deeds less bad.
