The purpose of this text is analyzing the anti-communists representations constructed in the 1960’s decade in Piauí. The analysis of representations showed the existence of three parts: the conservative, religious and private property. However, this article aims to understand the anti-communists representations on private property, particularly related to the agrarian question. In considering this aspect, we can see how their formation was emphasized, defended and, above all, decisive for the construction of other anti-communists representations. Due to the unstable situation in the 1960’s decade, part of the state and the Catholic Church took their positions in front of the dilemma agriculture, and in front of the support of segments of these institutions to peasant organizations many people were accused of being communists. In that sense, the work is divided between the Catholic Church in front of the trade union movement and support of the state of Piaui to Peasant Leagues.
