Peasants' Republicanism is the political system practiced by the Peasants' Republics what is now mostly north-western Germany, most prominently in Frisia.

The system was a reaction to Feudalism and a rejection thereof, instead placing the power in the hands of peasants. Sometimes a oligarchical system developed where a few families held power in the state and were the only ones allowed to vote (such as in Dithmarschen), other times the societies were more direct-democratic and communal in nature.
A constant however was that the peasants owned the land they worked and had to pay little or no taxes.

Beliefs

Peasants' Republicanism is strongly Anti-Feudal and believes that all peasants should be free from it.

Some peasants' republics, like Dithmarschen, were oligarchical in nature and were politically ruled by a very few wealthy families. Others, like in the Free Frisian Lands, were mostly communal and, according to some, direct-democratic to even anarchistic in nature.
