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.
So true. Only neolibs have compassion for other people’s suffering.
The good old Narcissist’s Tankie’s Prayer:
That didn’t happen,
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad,
And if it was, that’s not a big deal,
And if it is, that’s not my fault,
And if it was, that’s Western propaganda,
And if it isn’t, you deserved it.
right? It says so much that all the people who hate communism are the ones who’s businesses and family wealth were hurt - you will be looking for a while before you find an average person who lived under communism who hates communism.
