THE PEOPLE MUST OWN THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION.

No feudalism. No landlords. No kulaks.

kulaks = prosperous “peasants” = petite bourgeoisie

Every kulak got what they deserved. Read the comments to learn why.

    Here is the anti-USSR Ukrainian ultranationalist Isaak Mazepa writing in a respected Western Journal in 1933-34:

    "The opposition of the Ukrainian population caused the failure of the grain-storing plan of 1931, and still more so, that of 1932” He boasts of the success of the“passive resistance which aimed at a systematic frustration of the Bolshevik plans for the sowing and gathering of the harvest... Whole tracts were left unsown,” and “in addition, when the crop was being gathered last year [1932], it happened that, in many areas, especially in the south, 20, 40 and even 50% was left in the fields, and was either not collected at all or was ruined in the threshing.”

    Mazepa is literally cheering the efforts of the Kulaks to destroy food & infiltrate collectives & destabilize the USSR... he was a respected Ukrainian nationalist politician & published academic & agronomist.

    This was not a “live and let live” scenario. As long as the kulaks existed, they would continue to attack and destroy any alternative system to the one in which they owned capital.
