Agrarian Socialism
Agrarian Socialism is an ideology that combines an 
Agrarian lifestyle with a 
Socialist economic system. It is usually 
culturally Conservative, but not always and inhabits a moderate position in the 
Left-half of the political compass. Unlike most other forms of Socialism, it belives that the peasanty class should form the basis of Socialist society instead of the 
workers. As such, while not explicitly opposing technological progress, it prefers a simpler agriculture-based society over the 
industrial one.

Philippines
Luis Taruc (1913-2005) was a Philippine revolutionary and former Marxist, known for organizing the Hukbalahap (Hukbong Bayan Laban sa mga Hapones, English: The Nation's Army Against the Japanese Soldiers) armed guerrilla movement of the Philippine Communist Party formed by the peasant farmers of Central Luzon, in the 
Philippines. After the Japanese invasion, peasant leaders met on March 29, 1942, to form a united organization.
Though the Huks fought the 
Japanese, they also tried to thwart the 
US, and therefore were not accorded U.S. recognition or benefits at the end of the war.
the Huks numbered less than 2,000 by 1954 and without the protection and support of local supporters, active Huk resistance no longer presented a serious threat to Philippine security. In 1954, Operation Thunder-Lightning was conducted and resulted in the surrender of the leader of the Huks in May.
Schools of Thought
Russian Nihilism
Russian Nihilism was an economically left, civically variable, agrarian, and revolutionary 
anti-monarchist movement from the 
Russian Empire in the late 19th century. It was primarily inspired by the thought of the 
Young Hegelians and Russian anarchist 
Mikhail Bakunin.
Ideas varied wildly between theoreticians. Some supported 
anarchism (Bakunin), some supported 
republicanism (Chernyshevsky), and some supported what was perceived as 
totalitarianism (Nechayev). One thing these theorists all shared was an opposition to traditional values, monarchism, and religion. Another thing to note is that some nihilists were greatly influenced by Russian antinihilist literature such as Ivan Turgenevs "fathers and sons" or Fyodor Dostoevskys work and aspired to be like the nihilist characters in those stories.
