I'm sure Mao had some. Hitler liked animals and was a vegetarian, and he had a huge interest in health- I've always thought those were positive things. I bet Mao had lots of positive qualities- they just didn't happen to be qualities that made his governance of China compassionate or just.

amazon.com I thought this was interesting. He thinks that China will always venerate Mao as the man who unified China and drove out foreign oppressors. That bit about naive US policy has some resonance for today, imo, and our bumbling in the ME. I did a search on google for postive Mao qualities. I got a lot of hits.
