I don't care about Mao's motivation
Mao's communism means starvation for most, a private airplane form himself though he never take it, many pretty dance partners for him alone, ordinary people are not allowed to dance or they will be imprisoned. In 1970s, city dwellers in China are allowed to eat 250g vegetable oils per month, town dwellers 200g, non-peasants in North East (Dong1 Bei3) were allowed to buy 150g vegetable oils per month thanks to Mao2 Yuan3 Xin1.
If some people said they love Mao, let them enjoy 250g vegetable oil, 1000g port, 15kg rice or flour and unlimited veggie for one month first.
I don't care what Mao's motivation. I care about how much I can eat, what kind of life I can have.
