Because they intentionally destroyed resources to fight collectivization (ie throwing a tantrum to avoid having to share with people with less than them), which while the process was admittedly mishandled ended up being a good thing in the long run.
Also I'm not just going to believe a Wikipedia article that anyone with even slightly more than others was labled a Kulak anyway.
OK lemmy user "ilovethebomb"
But yes, Kulaks were exploiters.
Because they had slightly more land than their neighbors? Or a business?
Cool, cool.

They had a famine and millions died.
It wasn't caused by collectivization and I said "the long run".
That famine was the last one in the region. There had been famines in the region during the czar's time frequently.
It wasn't a famine, Stalin literally ate all of the food single-handedly with his massive spoon. Tankies like you will deny this.
