Soviet power, having implemented the complete abolition of private property in land, has already proceeded to carry out a whole series of measures aimed at organizing large-scale socialist agriculture. The most important of these measures are the establishment of Soviet farms, i.e., large-scale socialist economic enterprises, the encouragement of agricultural communes, i.e., voluntary associations of peasants for conducting large-scale collective enterprise, and societies, as well as partnerships for communal cultivation of the land; the organization of state sowing for the seeding of all unsown lands, whoever might own them; the state mobilization of all agronomic forces for energetic measures to raise the level of agricultural culture, and so forth.

Regarding all these measures as the sole path to the absolutely necessary increase in the productivity of agricultural labor, the RCP strives for the most complete possible implementation of these measures, for their extension to the more backward regions of the country, and for further steps in the same direction.

Given that the contradiction between city and countryside is one of the deepest foundations of the economic and cultural backwardness of the countryside, and in an epoch of such a profound crisis as the present one, places both city and countryside before the immediate danger of degeneration and ruin, the RCP sees in the elimination of this contradiction one of the fundamental tasks of communist construction, and alongside the measures indicated above, considers it necessary to have broad and systematic involvement of industrial workers in communist construction in agriculture, the development of the activity of the all-state "Workers' Committee for the Promotion of [Communist Construction]" already established by Soviet power for these purposes, and so forth.

In all its work in the countryside, the RCP continues to rely on the proletarian and semi-proletarian strata of the countryside, organizing them first of all into an independent force, creating committees of the poor, party cells in the countryside, trade unions of a special type for proletarians and semi-proletarians of the countryside, and so forth, drawing them as close as possible to the urban proletariat and wresting them from the influence of rural bourgeoisie and small-proprietor interests.

With respect to the kulaks, to the rural bourgeoisie, the policy of the RCP consists in resolute struggle against their exploitative encroachments, in suppressing their resistance to Soviet, communist policy.

With respect to the middle peasantry, the policy of the RCP consists in the gradual and systematic involvement of it in the work of socialist construction. The Party sets before itself the task of separating it from the kulaks, attracting it to the side of the working class through attentive regard for its needs, combating its backwardness by means of ideological influence rather than by means of suppression, striving in all cases where its vital interests are affected, to reach practical agreements with it, making concessions in determining the methods of implementing socialist transformations.
