You are teleported back in time into the body of Mao Zedong. Your objective is to avoid the mass deaths of Mao's reign. You cannot take a 360 by restoring democracy and becoming a capitalist, your decisions have to be in line with Maoist thought.
How do you accomplish it?

I guess not melting all pots and field equipment and not genociding birds would be a start.
Retrospective is 20/20, I guess most people here would manage.
I kill myself

If my decisions have to be in line with Maoist thought and -I- am Mao then I can make whatever decision I want. I immediately organize the People's Liberation Army and attack the traitor state of Taiwan regardless of the international response. I then demand Hong Kong from the UK, which I know I'll get because I've proven I am not afraid of a military reprisal by the weak capitalist dogs. With HK's economy now under my control I claim to have been 'enlightened' by its methods and declare something to 'socialism with a human face' and partially integrate Western ideals about human rights and economics with Communism and make the entire state a giant corporation that offers cheap chink labor to greedy American industries.
