Features: The historical evolution of the peasant question as elaborated in Marxism can be summarized in two main points: One is the peasant question discussed from the perspective of socialist revolution, which we often mention. In this regard, the basic Marxist viewpoint holds that the path to take is one of public ownership, collectivization, and cooperative development. Another Marxist viewpoint is that family-based farming is backward and will be replaced by large-scale socialized production, either by capitalist socialized production or by socialist socialized production.
