Totalitarian state a state in which the government controls every aspect of public and private life
Soviet state's Five-Year Plan Goal: Economic development
Joseph Stalin’s plan on paying for the rapid industrialization Collectivization of agriculture (Government controlled farming) The state would control all aspects of the farm including setting prices and controlling access to farm supplies. Peasants resisted collectivization (by killing farm animals, destroying tools, or burning crops) Stalin was angered by this and punished suspected peasants (Kulaks) by forcing them to labor camps. Thousands were killed or died from overwork ( When they installed communism many peasants prospered by having their own land)Collectivation meant 1 peasant might have to give up his farm so that a group of other peasants could work on it. Wealthy peasants resented Stalin’s new plan.
