Chinese state socialism has, for many years, politicized what crops the country's farmers plant. By doing so, it has transformed the agriculture radically and repeatedly. The state has adopted some strikingly different policy directions and modalities during both the Maoist and Dengist periods. Cleavages between the state and rural society have been opened, closed and re-opened more than once. The political importance and role of intermediate levels of the Chinese state – in particular, provincial and county governments – in affecting policy, mediating between society and the central state, and pursuing their own interests has long been sensed by scholars and Chinese politicians. But they remain largely unspecified.

This study was aimed to determine the history of social movements of Banjaranyar farmers, examined political economy theories of Popkin (1979) in The Rational Peasant: The Politics Economy of Rural Society in Vietnam that the resistance movement of farmers occurred when most people feel disadvantaged, and examined the theory of Scott (1976)about the concept of leadership and social structure. Through a historical approach, with the observation method of participation (participant observation) on the field, the study concluded, that the history of the struggle of Banjaranyar Farmers had a genuine dynamic, and the political economy theory of Popkin (1979), the theory of Scot (1976) manifested in social history that took place in the village of Banjaranyar.
