Explanation:

Let’s break it down:

- The statement "Peasantry lacks inter connection, common political identify and organisation and represent barbarism in the midst of civilization" is actually from K. Marx.

- This comes from Karl Marx’s analysis in the *18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte*, where he argues peasants are scattered, isolated and don’t form a coherent political force.

- V.I. Lenin also wrote a lot about peasants, but he didn’t use quite this framing—his take was more about their revolutionary potential in alliance with workers.

- J. Stalin had his own ideas about the peasantry, focusing on collectivization, but again, this specific statement isn’t his.

- Mao-Tse-Tung flipped the script and saw peasants as central agents of revolution—very different from the idea that they were isolated or "barbaric."

- The real point in Marx’s quote is that scattered rural folks can’t naturally become a political class—they’re too cut off from each other.

So, here’s your answer:
