If you want to have fun with a Marxist, ask them to define a kulak. If you have access to a personal computing device, you are by definition a kulak.
The average value of goods confiscated from kulaks during dekulakization was 170–400 rubles per household…
The average value of the goods which were confiscated from the kulaks during the policy of dekulakization (раскулачивание) at the beginning of the 1930s was only 170–400 rubles (US$90–210) per household.
Assuming that’s not adjusted for inflation, that would be about ~4000$ today (using the high estimate of 210$). And 4000$ of farm equipment is a paltry amount.
