Details
Submitted by[?]: Malivi Revolutionary Front
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Description[?]:
| Comrades! The fertile lands of Malivia are being exploited by the imperialist kulak to produce cash crops, the proceeds of which fatten his purse. Meanwhile, the Maliv starves, eking out a living in the acidic soil of the frontiers, pushed out by the kulak! The MRF demands the collectivization of farming and the formation of kolkhozes to feed the peasants. All cash crops are to be replaced by grain as soon as is feasible. |

| Message | The Militarist Party does not care which option above is chosen, as we support both. We will support the majority. |

| Message | We grow enough food to feed the Malivian people. The cash crops being raised help to bolster our economy, if they were to be converted into grain farmers would suffer economically. They would lose money not only from the loss of cash crops but also from falling grain prices due to over production. The farms themselves would become inefficient, surly we have all seen the disastrous effects of collective farming in other nations. |
