You are absolutely correct, BUT THEY don’t like self-sufficient individuals, small scale ANYTHING (too hard to control at-an-arms length) and even less—local people of influence, ie “Kulaks.”

Easy to find what a basic Kulak is by wiki definition, but study of Soviet era application is MUCH broader. If you want to see what’s coming our way, study Soviet history and WHO was driving it.

It’s them, it’s ALWAYS them.
