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.

... Or you could just read a history book that wasn't written by a Mao fanboi.

If you genuinely think that Mao's land reforms resulted in too many deaths instead of not enough, I don't know what to tell you.

Your problem is that only tens of millions of people died? Wtf?

We're talking about landlords who were so abusive that the instant their tenants were free they each individually chose to murder them. Like it wasn't a coordinated terror attack, it was millions of people all choosing to take extreme violence for likely the same reason.

Literally all the land reforms said was "release your slaves" so it's not on anyone but the landlords for what happened next.

We’re talking about the tens of millions of peasants who starved to death because Mao didn’t understand agriculture or mechanization.
