Tsarist "Stolypin reforms" gave preference to rich kulaks&nanny state capitalism propped up rich landowners above poor

"Stolypin reforms" gave undue market access & held back real class mobility

And yet despite this, the first successful year of collectivization implementation in 1930-31 literally more than tripled the amount harvested from Kulak style backward methods in just 2 years
