Ruthless war on the kulaks [independent farmers]! Death to them! Hatred and contempt for the parties which defend them-the Right Socialist-Revolutionaries, the Mensheviks, and today's Left Socialist-Revolutionaries! The workers must crush the revolts of the kulaks with an iron hand, the kulaks who are forming an alliance with the foreign capitalists against the working people of their own country. -- VI Lenin

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.
