Stalin forced peasant farmers to work on "collectives." These were large farms in which many peasants had no individual ownership interest but were forced to work together to raise crops for the state rather than for themselves. Some peasants who were a little more well off than other peasants were called kulaks. Stalin sent as many kulaks as he could to concentration and work camps.

Peasants
Peasants worked out in the farms to produce food, and also produced clothing for the person that ruled over them.
During the Great Leap Forward, Chinese peasants largely resisted the collectivization of farms, which aimed to consolidate individual landholdings into large collective farms. Many peasants were skeptical of the policies, leading to widespread discontent and reluctance to cooperate. This resistance was exacerbated by poor planning and the resulting famine, which caused immense suffering. Ultimately, the harsh realities of collectivization led to significant dissatisfaction and contributed to the eventual abandonment of the policy.
