Kulak is the Russian Word for ‘Deplorable’ By Yaacov ben Moshe 2/29/2020. In 1929 in an edict that seemed both impossibly savage and self-destructive, Stalin announced the “liquidation of the kulaks as a class.” The people he called kulaks were the relatively wealthy peasants in the countryside. In 1928 Stalin abruptly changed economic policy and unleashed a new war on the rich peasants labeled kulaks. Collectivization drive is usually given as the c.
- Resistant Farmers Labeled as 'Kulaks' In response, the Soviet regime derided the resisters as kulaks —well-to-do peasants, who in Soviet ideology were considered enemies of the state.
- The kulaks were considered the enemies of the working class Stalin believed that Russia needed to be able to feed itself, and in order for the five year plans to work, there needed to be a source of food for the workers in the factories. Stalin’s solution to this was collectivization.
- Kulak Meaning 'Fist' in Russian. Name for the landlords of rural Russia. Origin: Land tenure in Feudal Russia had been arranged where land was split into long narrow strips; the serfs tended two strips side by side; one for the landlord, the other for themselves. After serfdom was abolished in 1861, the land the serfs had once cultivated for themselves was now owned by the peasant commune.

In 1929 in an edict that seemed both impossibly savage and self-destructive, Stalin announced the 'liquidation of the kulaks as a class.” The people he called kulaks were the relatively wealthy peasants in the countryside.
For much of the eighteenth, nineteenth and into the early twentieth century, they were the most important single economic sector of the Russian empire. They were also the cultural center. They preserved Russian traditions and honored religious faith. They grew more than enough food to feed the nation. The excess they produced created more wealth in international trade and hard currency for Russia than any other group.
That is why it seems, at first thought, that it was counter to his own interests when Stalin enlisted 25,000 urban factory workers to go and dispossess the agrarian peasants. He trained them, gave them revolvers and ordered them to drive the kulak families off their land, outright murder many of them, send more of them off to prison camps, and enslave the rest. The resulting famine killed tens of millions of kulaks and others in the most painful and pitiless way.
The atrocity of the de-kulakization -- the heartless butchery and wanton waste of life, the inhumane genocide of a culture, the destruction of the productive economic heart of Russia -- seems a brutal insanity unless you understand the real motivation behind it. As Stephen Kotkin has revealed in his biography of the man, Stalin was tough and cold, but he was not a madman. He did what he did, as Kotkin, proves, not out of murderous insanity but, even more chillingly, simply because he was a communist.

It was a power struggle. The kulaks presumed they were indispensable to Russia.which they might have been..But Stalin proved they were NOT indispensable to the Soviets.
The middle class are always the most difficult for the state to “control”; they have the comprehension to call out the state on its BS as well as having the financial resources to do so.
The state is all about power
Good article that recites the reason we should oppose the left with every fiber of our being.
Very few Americans truly understand why or how the left is very dangerous. It is a mob that demands complete obedience and just like Stalin, they are capable of justifying any atrocity in the name of the state and “collective”.
The left punishes original thought and individualism. The left will punish obedience to God over obedience to the state.
Bernie wouldn’t do anything like that, would he?

The Kulaks were just ignorant farmers, right Mayor Bloomberg?
I was thinking of that.
And also, old Bill Ayers comments about concentration camps for the 25 million that would require serious re-education.
I’d like to see Google and Facebook employees given revolvers and be sent to move rural southerners off their land...
That would be “Obama buddy Bill Ayers.”
A prosperous middle class is incompatible with communism. Some like obama try to eradicate the middle class before introducing communism. Some like Stalin do it afterwards.
Reading this article makes clear that the cautionary warning that “they” (liberals, progressives, communists, the left — whatever you want to call them) would likely line us up against a wall and mow us down. Don’t think they’re capable of atrocities? Think abortion on demand; without regard to medical necessity but also to avoid inconvenience. The writer cites examples of today’s leading leftists.

Thanks for posting. It’s how D.C. Divide & Control/Kill totalitarians roll. Kulaks, infidels, jews, bitter clingers, deplorables. Never address grievances against the individual (with evidence) to take over...gain POWER.
Beware the Ides of March. Satanists love symbolism.
The first instance of communism in the modern world was the Paris Commune after France’s collapse in the Franco-Prussian war in 1870. As soon as the communards took over the mass murder began. This was a taste of things to come in the 20th century.
Apologists for communism claim that Stalin was an aberration, just like Mao and Pol Pot were aberrations. We have a pronounced pattern here that the apologists refuse to acknowledge.
After the fall of the Soviet Union a film was made in Russia in 1991, ‘The Chekist’, that made the point in a horrific way that the mass murder in Russia did not start with Stalin but as soon as the Bolsheviks gained power. As the author contends in the article, it wasn’t Stalin but communism itself.
English/American language is a compilation of many languages.
Is there any American word that derives from Russian, I wonder.
Stay armed and vigilant, my fellow deplorables.
Why is Bill Ayres still taking in oxygen? Disgusting waste.
