When compared to standard socialist systems which are generally urban/industrial (thus often focused on centralization and bigger government), internationally oriented, and more progressive/liberal, many agrarian socialist movements have tended to be rural (with an emphasis on decentralization and smaller government), locally focused, and traditional/conservative.
