[–] vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I won't pretend to know details of Romanian history. I do doubt that Dekulakization was bloodless there. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) EDIT: Didn't understand we were talking about collectivization, sorry. Never heard the term Kulak before. Actually, collectivization in Romania was very bloodless, at least until the USSR decided to lend a "helping hand" to "speed up" the process. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago* (1 child) That's very interesting, thanks for sharing. It almost looks like Romania is an example of what happens when the process of collectivization occurs naturally and not forced through authoritarianism. That's actually nice to see. Until, like you said, USSR tried to "help". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) It would be wrong to hold up Romania as too much of a shining example though, even here. When the USSR expressed disappointment and offered their help, Romanian communists were very willing to show their independence from Moscow by refusing and breaking heads on their own to speed up the process. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago This is why we can't have nice things. permalink fedilink source parent
