Opening kendo full-level talent

Influenced by the red history of the Chinese Empire and the Soviet Union, many people believe that setting up collective farms, or people's communes, big pots of rice, and production teams will seriously dampen people's enthusiasm for labor.

It will make everyone not work out of lazy and selfish ideas, so that everyone will not have enough to eat, and even famine will occur!
Only by contracting the fields to individuals and farming and working in the family as a unit can people's enthusiasm for production be improved and everyone can have enough food.

In fact, this kind of thinking is wrong, and it has not been considered comprehensively in combination with other factors in history.

One-sided thinking that as long as they engage in collective labor, they will not have enough to eat, and even if they can barely eat enough, people will not have the motivation to work.

In fact, it caused the Soviet Union, China, and even all socialist countries on earth in the 20th century.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when collective labor was engaged in, food shortages and famines always occurred. The reason is not that simple.

First, take the Soviet Union and China as examples. In the early days of their founding, these two socialist countries faced the same situation of being surrounded and blocked.

Because the vast majority of countries in the world are capitalist countries.For the nascent socialist country, this is quite unfavorable.

The most dangerous situation faced when the country was founded was the Soviet Union. As the world's first socialist country, it was just at the end of the First World War when it was first established, and it was almost surrounded by old capitalist powers.

In order to win the war with the white bandit army of the capitalist forces in the country, Lenin, the mentor of the proletarian revolution, was forced to sign a humiliating treaty with Germany, in exchange for the cession of a large area of ​​land in exchange for Germany not to attack.

But even so, other capitalist powers have no intention of letting it go.

Country E sent an intervention army to land from the port of Murmansk near the North Pole to attack Soviet Russia.

Kaiben sent an intervention army to land from Vladivostok to attack Siberia.

Even the Beiyang department also sent troops to the Foreign League, hoping to regain the Foreign League that was independent during the Tsarist Russia period. Even the United States, far across the ocean, sent tens of thousands of troops to fight with the French country E.

It is conceivable how dangerous Soviet Russia was at that time, insisting on fighting against various hostile forces.

In the end, it took only 4 years to wipe out armed hostile armed forces at home and abroad, and successfully established the first socialist country on earth.

Although during the civil war, in order to win first, protect the nascent Soviet regime from being destroyed.

The leadership of Soviet Russia has done many things that do not look like what a Communist should do. Many of these policies are not popular at all, and are even harsher than the departments in Tsarist Russia.

For example, the surplus grain collection system, no matter how much grain the farmers harvested, only keep rations and seeds, and take away all the rest.

Any normal person would be outraged by such a policy, but what could the nascent Soviet regime do?

Millions of the Red Army needed to eat, but many grain production areas in Russia were not in their hands. Without the system of collecting surplus grain, the Red Army would not have enough to eat.

And once the army is hungry, how can it still have combat effectiveness, and the Soviet regime cannot survive the attack of internal and external enemies.

Another example is to use the old army of Tsarist Russia to control the families of these soldiers and force them to fight for the Soviet regime.Soldiers in Tsarist Russia had to take up guns and go to the front line for the lives of their families.

At first glance, this approach seems even more shameless than a feudal country.

But what could the nascent Soviet power do?

If these old troops were not used, there would only be tens of thousands of troops fully supporting the Soviet regime, while the foreign intervention army and the domestic white bandit army would have tens of thousands of people. No matter how you think about it, it would be impossible to beat it.

In order to prevent the soldiers of these old armies from defecting, the Soviet regime can only use this despicable and shameless method to make the soldiers dare not betray.

There are many other policies, most of them are collectively referred to as "wartime communist policies" in the Chinese textbooks.

At first glance, these policies seem very unreasonable, inhuman, and even cruel, but they are all helpless actions, and they are measures that a new regime has to take in order to ensure its own survival.

Lenin was so acutely aware of this that he stopped these policies immediately after the civil war ended.To win the civil war.

The Soviet regime had offended too many people and lost too many people's hearts. After the war situation stabilized in 1920, it had to regain its advanced image of representing communism in the hearts of the people.

But a new question arises again. Will the socialist regime be able to build an advanced country after winning the civil war?History has already given the answer - it is very difficult, only part of it can be built, or even not at all.

The reason is easy to understand.

After the civil war, Soviet Russia faced a Russia that was devastated by the war, a Russia that was worse than that under the rule of Tsarist Russia.

Tsarist Russia is a capitalist country that was not strong in the first place. It was a country that abolished serfdom and moved towards capitalism only a few decades ago.

Tsarist Russia and the Republic of China are very similar in some respects, both have vast land and many farmers, which also determines that their feudal forces are too deeply rooted, and they can get rid of the shackles of feudal landlords in a short time and move towards capitalism.

Russia, which has experienced World War I and the Civil War, has destroyed too many industrial equipment and fled too many scientific and technological talents, and has actually become a weak agricultural country.

It was slightly better than the Republic of China at that time, probably only because there was no foreign capital in the country.

How difficult it is to establish an advanced country under such circumstances!
No matter how advanced the socialist system is, it cannot conjure highly educated scientific and technological talents out of thin air.

Without talents, factories and machines cannot be built, and without factories and machines, there is no need to think about industrialization.Even if industrialization cannot be completed, how can we talk about advancement?

This is an endless loop.There is only one way to break this cycle, and that is to hire talents and purchase equipment from other countries with advanced technology.

But here comes the problem again, it costs money to buy equipment and hire talents.

How can a backward agricultural country be rich?Industrial countries are rich because they can rely on advanced technology, process raw materials and sell finished products to earn high profits.

An agricultural country has no technology, but only the fate of becoming a dumping ground for commodities from an industrial country.

Even among industrial powers, economic crises are often triggered by competition with each other, resulting in a bleak domestic economy, let alone agricultural countries.

There is no way, the Soviet Union and China have only one way to go, and that is to sacrifice agriculture first and earn foreign exchange by selling grain.They also have only agriculture to sacrifice, and want to make money by selling natural resources.
