Main causes of collectivisation
- Economic
- NEP failing
- Falling living standards for urban workers
- current farming methods inefficient
- Ideological
- NEP allowed free market
capitalism which was not a
communist idea!
- Hoped that
collectivisation
would awaken their
revolutionary spirit
- They were currently working for their benefit,
not the state
- Political
- Right wing argued NEP and suggested
importing grain but this meant less
money for industry
- Stalin used it to win support from the
left (who wanted rapid industry) and
isolate Bukharin
