agrarian class struggle

Agrarian class struggle refers to the conflict between different social classes within agricultural societies, primarily between landowners and laborers or tenants. Landowners, who control land and resources, often seek to maximize their profits, while laborers work the land for wages or sharecropping arrangements. This struggle can manifest through disputes over wages, working conditions, land rights, and access to resources. Historical examples include tenant farmers fighting against exploitative practices or labor movements advocating for better rights and conditions. Ultimately, it reflects broader themes of power, inequality, and the distribution of wealth in rural economies.
