The implementation of the grain monopoly with the greatest success is
possible only under the following conditions:
Firstly, with reasonable centralization of the entire supply effort; only
then will the grain monopoly yield positive results when all instructions
emanating from the center are unconditionally carried out on the
ground, when local authorities do not conduct an independent
food policy, but the policy that, in the interests of the entire
starving population, is pursued by the central government.
Secondly, with the direct assistance to state grain procurement from the starving workers and peasants themselves, from the most conscious part of them. Undoubtedly, starving workers
and peasants will obtain grain sooner than well-fed ones; but only if
they work not separately and not alongside the procurement
food agencies in the producing provinces, but together with them,
merging into them, in a single formation.
Thirdly, with the unification of the peasant poor against the rural
bourgeoisie, which now holds the grain surpluses in its hands; without such
unification of the peasant poor in the producing provinces, without
attracting it to the side of the hungry against the kulaks, to wrest grain from the
latter, as experience shows, is difficult...
Centralization of the entire food supply, the organized use
of conscious cadres of starving workers and peasants, and the unification
of the rural poor in grain-producing provinces - these are the tasks
that the central government is trying to solve in the fight against hunger, and
which the recently adopted Decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee on the reorganization of food agencies makes it possible to solve.
The worker-peasant government is clearly aware of the shortcomings of the law on the grain monopoly.
One of the main shortcomings of the law is its incompleteness: it
does not establish a correspondence between fixed prices for grain and free prices for consumer goods, especially for
items necessary for the countryside.
This shortcoming will be eliminated in the near future;
the central government has taken all measures to ensure that fixed prices are established as soon as possible on all mass consumption items.
Comrade workers and starving peasants! The government you have put in place cannot help but tell you the whole truth.
It considers it its duty to warn you that measures of an organizational
and legislative nature, which are already being taken by it and which will be taken in the future, will yield proper results
only in the future.
Weeks and months will pass before the strict and unwavering
implementation of the law on the grain monopoly with all the new
measures brings the desired results.
Meanwhile, grain is needed today, tomorrow. Hunger has come and allows no further delay.
How and where to get grain in the coming days?

Comrade workers and starving peasants, you know where the grain is.
Almost all grain surpluses are in the hands of the rural kulaks.
Having become rich during the war, having accumulated huge sums of money,
they do not need to sell grain and hold it, waiting for price increases
or selling it at speculative prices.
Hunger in the cities, hunger in factory centers, hunger in the villages of the consuming provinces does not touch them.
Having profited from the war, they now want to profit from hunger.
Together with the big bourgeoisie, which has been hit by the revolution and which does not like the grain monopoly, the rural kulaks are
demanding the abolition of the grain monopoly and changes in fixed prices.
They do not care that the abolition of the grain monopoly and changes in fixed prices will bring grain only to the rich, but will not give grain to the hungry.
The kulaks do not want to give grain to the hungry and will not give it, no matter what concessions the state makes to them.
Grain must be taken by force from the kulaks.
A crusade must be launched against the rural bourgeoisie.
The government has taken this path, and it calls you, comrade workers and starving peasants, to this path.
Respond more quickly to the rallying cry of the central government.
Form armed detachments as soon as possible from steadfast and resilient
workers and peasants, not succumbing to any temptations and fully disciplined, send them as soon as possible at the disposal of the central government.
Time is of the essence. Grain surpluses must be immediately seized
from the wealthy kulaks.
The detachments formed by you, together with the disciplined detachments
of the Red Army, under the military leadership of experienced and tested
revolutionaries and specialists in food supply, will go to
conquer grain from the rural bourgeoisie.
A merciless war against the kulaks!
In this slogan lies salvation from hunger in the near future, in this
slogan lies the salvation and deepening of the conquests of the revolution.
Know, comrade workers and starving peasants, that perhaps
this will be one of the last battles that you must give to the bourgeoisie.
To lose it means to lose the revolution.
If you do not want to or cannot "conquer" grain from the kulaks, you
will lose what you have already conquered with such difficulty and with such heavy sacrifices.
Not a step away from the grain monopoly!
Not the slightest increase in fixed prices for grain!
No independent procurement!
All the steadfast, disciplined, and conscious into a single organized food structure!
Unconditional execution of all instructions from the central government!
No separate actions!
Full revolutionary order in the country!
War on the kulaks!
