War communism failure
Grain Requisitioning
Peasants often hid or reduced production because they gained nothing
This caused famine and starvation in the countryside
The government took grain from peasants to feed soldiers and city workers
Industry
Managers were appointed by the government not chosen by workers
This led to inefficiency and poor production
All major industries and factories were taken over by the state
Worker discipline
Strikes were banned and workers lost freedom
Morale dropped and productivity did not improve
Workers faced strict rules like longer hours and punishment for lateness
Economy
Cities lost workers as people went to the countryside for food
Industrial output fell to a fraction of pre-war levels
Money lost value and was replaced by goods
Opposition
The Kronstadt sailors who were once loyal Bolsheviks rebelled in 1921
This convinced Lenin the system was unsustainable
Harsh policies led to strikes in cities and uprisings in rural areas
