State and Collective-Farm and Co-operative Forms of Property

Two forms of socialist ownership. Both forms are based on collective ownership of the means of production. State property is the property of the whole people, while co-operative property is the property of individual collective farms and co-operatives. Land is placed at the disposal of collective farms in perpetuity, and they use it as they see fit. The results of labour and all movable and immovable property belong to the collective farm.

Besides commonly-owned property, members of collective farms have at their disposal personal plots of land, domestic animals, etc. At a definite stage, when the collective farms are able to satisfy the requirements of their members out of the common result of their labour, these personal plots will gradually become redundant. The state form of property, or national property, is the leading form, and the co-operative form is secondary. Merging of the two forms proceeds gradually in the stage of full-scale communist construction.

The Programme of the CPSU defines the means by which they will merge into a single form of communist property. State property is perfected by concentration and centralisation of production, progressive co-operation and specialisation. Co-operative property is raised to the level of national property by the further economic development of the collective farms, growth of their fixed assets, co-operation of collectively-owned property with state property, and the development of production links between collective farms through the building of joint collective-farm power stations, factories processing farm products, etc.
