This Malkin piece is just whining and "gotcha;" it needs to be sounding the alarm. Now it's just the prosecution of bakers who won't bake cakes for gay weddings, like "pinpricks against the kulaks." As the state seizes the economic reins, then it will be "replacing their output," and "time for serious blows." Cuomo is Stalin against the Kulaks and his speech is hate speech.

Joseph Stalin, Speech on Agrarian Policy Dec. 27, 1929

Was this policy correct? Yes, it was absolutely correct at the time. Could we have undertaken such an offensive against the kulaks some five years or three years ago? Could we then have counted on success in such an offensive? No, we could not. That would have been the most dangerous adventurism.

An offensive against the kulaks is a serious matter. It should not be confused with declamations against the kulaks. Nor should it be confused with a policy of pinpricks against the kulaks,

But today? What is the position now? Today, we have an adequate material base for us to strike at the kulaks, to break their resistance, to eliminate them as a class, and to replace their output by the output of the collective farms and state farms.
