Hi everyone. In this video I examine a quite popular narrative among anti communists, the so called resistance narrative that presents the soviet collectivisation of agriculture as a mostly or completely unpopular policy on the part of the peasants. The resistance narrative draws on OGPU reports and peasant letters and (mis)takes the peasant protests during winter of 1929-30 and passive resistance in the collectives as proof of widespread resistance to collectivisation. I go through the nature of the sources this narrative uses, the scope and nature of the peasant protests, and annual grain produce in the collectives during 1930s to show it is false.
You can find all the statistical data I use in tauger’s article. The link is in the description. I hope you find the video useful.
You can promote your channel on our community called Tankie Bunker; we have a place where you can ping everyone and promote your channel there on the required, well, channel.
Thank you for letting me know. I will check it out as soon as I can.
No problem, it’s a great community. Just answer the questions well and you’ll be fine. We support AES (Actually Existing Socialism) such as Laos, Vietnam, China, etc. and trans rights as well. Also, we’re pretty anti-Zionist on top of it. You’ll enjoy it here.
this is great comrade
Thanks. I’m glad you liked it
No problem
Keep up the good work. I have been planning to do some podcast/video style thing soon. Perhaps we can collab in the future
We could comrade. Please let me know when you start doing it and if I happen to be available, I’d love to participate. Thank you.
