Why did the Kulak class, in particular, oppose collectivization?

The Kulaks were wealthy farmers in the Soviet Union. Colllectivization meant the collection of private goods, especially land, and handing them over to the state so that they are governed by the whole society.

Collectivisation would mean that the Kulaks would be deprived of their goods, so they naturally opposed it.
