Soooo completely misunderstand my country's existing economy and ecology, make a bunch of boneheaded decisions, then proceed to murder tens of millions with my dictatorship in the name of "modernization" while creating one of the most oppressive, least politically free governments in human history?

.......I'll pass, thanks.

I mean a distaste for capitalism puts you in good company here but Mao's China is one of the shittiest examples you could pick as an alternative, that's one of the governments the right throws around as a stereotype for why they say communism is horrible and they do that with good reason.
