Peasants primarily resisted collectivization because they wanted to keep control of their land and did not want to work for the government in collective farms. This resistance stemmed from a deep-rooted desire for autonomy and the belief that collectivization would strip them of their rights and personal ownership. The cultural and economic ties to their land were significant, and many peasants viewed collectivization as a direct attack on their way of life. While some might have had concerns about government interference or the allure of factory work, the overarching motivation was the desire to maintain control over their property and livelihoods.
