The Socialization of Agriculture in the Marxist Theory of Social Development
Milan Župančić
Sažetak
The article analyzes more important
aspects of the socialization of
agriculture in Marxist theory, and
also indicates some practical
problems of socialization in
Yugoslavia. Modern agricultural
production demands a large farm,
which is a negation of peasant
ownership and the peasant manner
of production. Analyzing the
development of agriculture in
capitalism, Marx and Engels came
to the conclusion that the laws of
development are the same for
agriculture and industry. Economic
and technological reasons create
a social need for the nationalization
of land and demand the linking
of industry and agriculture. Land
socialization is a pre-condition for
the further development of the
forces of production in agriculture,
and the solution of the peasant
question.
However, other concepts also exist
within the framework of the
socialist movement of the First
and Second International.
Revisionist concepts and the
denial of basic Marxist assumptions
are very strong. The law of
concentration and centralization
in agriculture, and differentiation
and class contradictions in the
village, are refuted.
Analyzing newly created tendencies
in the development of agriculture
at the beginning of the 20th
century, Lenin reached a conclusion
that completely confirms Marx's
basic conclusions. In a polemic
with populists and »legal Marxists«
Lenin resolutely defended Marxist
stands and contributed to the
development of the theory and
practice of the agrarian question. Problems of socializing agriculture
are acute in all socialist countries,
including Yugoslavia. The last
part of the article gives a short
of problems of socialization of
agriculture in Yugoslavia. Yugoslav
Marxist theoreticians, an
outstanding place among which
is held by Edvard Kardelj,
developed key theoretic stands
concerning the practical paths of
the transformation and socialization
of privately owned agriculture.
Basic Marxist hypotheses about
the methods and manners of
socializing agriculture have been
completely confirmed and affirmed
in Yugoslavia's experience, and
practical methods of putting
them into effect are completely
in harmony with the total
development of self-management
in the Yugoslav socialist society.
