Agrarian Communism
The 17th Century movement called the Diggers based their ideas on agrarian communism.

However, Mao always saw his theoretical developments as extensions of Marxism-Leninism and they were grounded in the fundamental Marxist idea that development of the productive forces predisposes Communism.
