Agrarian Communism
The 17th Century movement called the Diggers based their ideas on agrarian communism.
Certain forms of more modern communism have been more agrarian than industrial. For example, Mao Zedong's view that the peasantry could be tapped as a revolutionary force in modern society (a major aspect of Maoist theory). 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.

Famous quotes containing the word communism:
“By intervening in the Vietnamese struggle the United States was attempting to fit its global strategies into a world of hillocks and hamlets, to reduce its majestic concerns for the containment of communism and the security of the Free World to a dimension where governments rose and fell as a result of arguments between two colonels’ wives.”
—Frances Fitzgerald (b. 1940)
