The philosophical difference between Maoism and traditional Marxism–Leninism is that the peasantry are the revolutionary vanguard in pre-industrial societies rather than the proletariat.

Answer:

Maoism was a movement for the farming classes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Karl Marx's communism appeals to poor industrial workers in the city--their work produces wealth, so they should have a greater share of it. Maoism focuses on rural farmers instead: Maoists don't believe cities should have all the wealth for themselves.
