The teachings of Marx and Engels present a clear view of a socialist society and the peasantry within such a society. They offered a reduced version of history, seeing it only as a class conflict. On the other hand, their expectations were not met. The socialist revolution was not carried out by the working class, but by the peasantry. The very same peasantry that they had nothing good to say about. The bourgeoisie did not become superfluous, the peasantry and the working class underwent a full evolution, while the so-called "socialist" societies did not put an end to social differences, the oppositions between the country and the city and the like. In this paper, the author discusses the ideological stereotypes which, later, during the building of "socialist" societies, had a detrimental effect on the peasantry.
Key words: ideology, peasantry, working class, revolution, socialism.

IDEOLOŠKI STEREOTIPI O SELJAŠTVU
Učenje Marksa i Engelsa predstavlja jasnu viziju socijalističkog društva i seljaštva u okviru takvog društva. Previše su suzili istoriju videći u njoj samo klasni sukob. S druge strane, njihova očekivanja nisu se ispunila. Nosilac socijalističkih revolucija nije bila radnička klasa, već seljaštvo. Ono seljaštvo o kome nisu imali mnogo lepih reči. Nije se dogodilo da buržoazija postane suvišna, seljaštvo i radništvo doživeli su korenitu evoluciju, a tzv. "socijalistička " društva nisu ukinula socijalne razlike, suprotnost sela i grada, itd. U radu autor razmatra ideološke stereotipe koji su, kasnije, u toku izgradnje, "socijalističkih " društava pogubno uticali na seljaštvo.
