The Kolkhoz system in the Soviet Union is really not to dissimilar to modern farming practices.

The system of petty/peasant farming is over. Successful farms are already "collectivized", and hire farmhands to do the work.

WTF are you talking about? Undocumented immigrants are the peasant class of the USA. Are you so out of touch you don't know who harvests the food you eat?
Proletarians work for a wage, peasants do not. The undocumented immigrants on USA farms are proletarians.

Your main claim was that, the Soviet Union "collective" farming system caused famine; but in reality it was just the conversion from traditional feudal peasant farming to modern capitalist farming, entirely orchestrated by the state.
Modern farms are already "collectivized" and so your claim does not hold water or is at best accurate but completely irrelevant to the modern day.
Well you're a pedantic one aren't you? Undocumented immigrants don't have the rights of a citizen and therefore are a lower class. They work in the agricultural sector for the landowner while having no rights. That's a peasant to me, but go a head and continue be pedantic about everything to avoid having any new thoughts.
