Agrarian socialism
Appearance
Agrarian socialism is a socioeconomic political movement which seeks to combine an agrarian way of life with socialist (or quasi-socialist) economic policies.
When compared to standard socialist doctrine(s) which are generally urban/industrial, internationally oriented, and progressive/liberal, many agrarian socialist movements have tended to be rural, locally focused, and traditional/conservative.
