http://www.answers.com/topic/developed-socialism ----- It was Khrushchev who in 1961, just a few years before the coup against him, in the new program of the Communist Party, promised that "the next generations of the Soviet people will live under communism." Khrushchev tried to implement this belief through his policy, which had some disastrous consequences. He castigated the personal ownership of cars and private country houses, as well as encouraged collective transportation and vacations. He initiated people's teams for keeping order as an attempt to diminish the role of the professional police, an idea that goes back to Vladimir Lenin's utopian vision of socialist society in "State and Revolution," written before the October revolution. Moved by the same motivation, Khrushchev promoted amateur theaters with the same ridiculous fervor. More serious consequences rose from Khrushchev's economic policy. He promised a radical jump forward in the production of food by the collective farms. However, he put a limit on the production of milk and meat from private plots. While Khrushchev's program in collective agriculture failed, the curtailment of food production in the private sector led to big lines for food products in the state and even in the so-called free collective market. ----- regards, alexander. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
