The collapse of the Soviet Union was the biggest disaster.
This opened the door for fascists and capitalist backed by the West to corrupt your countries.
The woman is right the Red army/ Soviet Union showed how to unite workers of all backgrounds, it's a shame there not they're anymore.

Naresh Chauhan Soviet union formation was a great disaster for peasants who worked hard. They became "the enemies of the people " and were sent to Siberia because they didn't want to give their property for kholhosp. I would like to see how happy you would be if you had to give your car now for a collective farm. Or if your mother or daughter had to weed a hectare of beets by hand every summer and get a kilo of sugar for it. It was a disaster - Siviet union- for poor people.

Michael Willis Kulaks were the name of competent peasants. Bedniaks were just lazy hypocritical scam who wanted to improve their condition by effectively stealing from their more competent neighbours dubbed "Kulaks".

Alexey Tigarev The Kulaks were so great that their plan of action for pushing back against government policies they didnt like was to threaten the entire urban population of Russia with starvation. Whose worse, thieves or murderers?

Michael Willis I hate hearing this commie-style BS lies.

As Kulaks were a wide category of population, there wouldn't be possible to coordinate a strike across all of them. Having the free market, any withholding of produce would only create price increases - to the detriment of those who hold their produce, and to the gain of ones who do sell it. And the price would eventually balance.

The peasants' produce is the private property of people who produced it, by the way 😉

And the commie government was not legitimate - it appeared from a pure power grab. Some activists, not representing the whole population, would gather somewhere and declare themselves a local government - that's how things did happen then.

And finally, the Soviet government is the one who actually starved

Naresh Chauhan Soviet empire collapse was the most wonderful thing I ever experienced
