- why did stalin collectivise?
- economic factors
- record grain harvests in 1926
- harvests of 1927,1928 and 1926 had fell substantially.
- collectivisation offered greater efficiency
- this would mean more grain could be taken to sell abroad and fund industrialisation
- less people needed in rural areas = more people in the city
- therefore living conditions declined
- more money made selling grain abroad = better conditions
- since 1921 the government had been buying grain on the free market
- less grain surplus = less to sell abroad
- collectivisation offered greater efficiency
- political factors
- removal of Bukharin
- the left offered grain imports. this wasnt popular as it meant money made by the state wasnt spent on inustrialisation
- introducing collectiviastion was very popular in the party
- Stalin knew little of agriculture
- belived it could be changed by strong will and determination
- anyone who disagreed with state policy where enemies of the people
- removal of Bukharin
- ideological factors
- collectivisation was the socialist dream for the future
- land had been handed to the peasants against their will after 1917
- people were taking it anyway
- this was not a capitalist idea
- land had been handed to the peasants against their will after 1917
- farmers only produced enough for themselves. needed to be communist not capitalist
- collectivisation was the socialist dream for the future
- the grain procurement crisis
- harvests had been poor in recent years
- adds too all three other factors
- political: undermined Bukharin as he supported the system that allowed this
- economic: showed that the peasants could hold the government to randsom
- Ideological: the peasants where capitalist and enemies of the state
- economic factors
