      What do you mean by “oligarchs painted in red?” How do you think AES states function? June 4th, 1989 was a tragic day where hundreds of people around Beijing were killed, students and soldiers alike, and the 1930s famine in the USSR was similarly tragic. I don’t think either the PRC or USSR intended for either of those events to happen the way they did.

          That didn’t answer any of my questions, nor did it address anything. Spamming Wikipedia links doesn’t really mean anything. Collectivization of agriculture was a big part of the Soviet plan to end the regular famines produced under the Kulak system of agriculture, where semi-bourgeois producers farmed very inefficiently and for the purpose of profit.
