Your Lenin quotation is precisely apt!

Independent farmers are the blood enemy of every socialist regime of the last 100 years.

The State prefers to create its own classes of aspiring courtiers and truckling dependents. Farmers might have sh*t on their shoes.

Independent farmers are the blood enemy of every socialist regime of the last 100 years.

And in the early 30's Stalin murdered 7 million of them -- yes, 7 million... that's 7,000,000 -- in the Ukraine.

And the New York Times covered that massacre up.

And got a Pulitzer Prize for its efforts.
