ah yes, slavers and exploiters.

“peasants with a couple of cows or five or six acres [~2 ha] more than their neighbors” were labeled kulaks.

Not to mention the famine that followed this act of genius.

Because they had slightly more land than their neighbors? Or a business?

Cool, cool.

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.
