Marxist-Maoist party founded by Joshua Nkomo and Ndabaningi Sithole begun as as an armed wing of the original ZAPU banned in 1962 known as the Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army. Party was re-formed on December 13, 2008 after pulling out of a 20-year unity agreement with ZANU PF. Party seeks to mobilize the rural peasantry to attain power, in imitation of Mao Zedong's use of the rural masses to further the communist cause, which lead to battle in the Autumn Harvest Uprising of September 1927. Party propounds Georgism (named after activist Henry George), which holds that farmers should own the value of what they produce themselves. Party has been led by Dumiso Dabengwa since August 2010.
