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.
ah yes, slavers and exploiters.
Not to mention the famine that followed this act of genius.
OK lemmy user “ilovethebomb”
But yes, Kulaks were exploiters.
Because they had slightly more land than their neighbors? Or a business?
Cool, cool.

They had a famine and millions died.
It wasn’t caused by collectivization and I said “the long run”.
That famine was the last one in the region. There had been famines in the region during the czar’s time frequently.
