The Russian Labor Party was indeed rather unfriendly toward certain groups—not merely the rich and capitalists, but also what it deemed feudal cancers: monarchs, nobles, slaveowners, serf owners, as well as petty bourgeois, small merchants, and farmers.

Although it was still no easy feat, it was far better than during the Imperial Russian era. After all, in his previous life, the Russian Labor Party had raised urbanization to over sixty percent, turning most farmers into genuine workers.
And Russia, regardless of what system it operated under, had always taken war rather seriously, so its military was also quite large.
