We should keep in mind the following:
It is the duty of our Party to explain to the peasants again and again the absolute hopelessness of their position so long as the domination of capitalism continues, and to show them the absolute impossibility of maintaining their small plots of land as such and the absolute assurance that capitalist large-scale production will supplant their powerless, antiquated small industry just as the railway supplants the wheel-barrow. ~ Friedrich Engels, "The Peasant Question in France and Germany", Neue Zeit, 1894
However, in the abscence of working class party and its movement; what should peasnt do? Are they bound to be the ally of bourgeoies? What demand we may support for them? This is the vital question.
