	Peasants' War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To understand the causes of the peasant war one must examine the changing structure of social classes in Germany and their relationship to one another.
		The lord had rights to use the peasant’s land as he wished; the peasant could do nothing but watch idly by as his crops were destroyed by wild game and nobles on the chivalric hunt.
		The peasant movement ultimately failed as cities and nobles made their own peace with the princely armies which restored the old order in often still harsher form under the nominal overlordship of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, represented in German affairs by his younger brother Ferdinand.

	German Peasants War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The peasants were openly hostile to the additional taxes and ground rents which arose from this shift of rights, and the local nobles were often left with no recourse than to try to compel the peasants to do their bidding, a difficult thing to do.
		A peasant detachment was a colorful sight: the leaders often wore the 'slashed' uniform of the landsknechts, silk banners waved, drums and fifes marched ahead and were followed by a long baggage train with wagons for the booty and women; on the edges of the battlefields money changers and dealers lurked.
		Unlike the peasants, the thinking among the lumpenproletariat did not use the Bible as a legal or moral justification for their views or actions, they used it in the messianic sense of a creed, similar to how Das Kapital and The Communist Manifesto were used in the late 19th and early 20thCenturies.

	EIAL X2 - The Chiapas Rebellion
		According to the structural theory of revolution (Goldstone, 1986: 10-11), peasant rebellion contributes to revolution when (1) there are widely shared peasant grievances directed against a common enemy, (2) there is a high capacity of peasant organization, and (3) there is a high autonomy of peasant organization from the control of landowners.
		The Chiapas state police and the landowners' paramilitary "white guards" are implicated in attacks on peasant demonstrations, arrests and assassinations of peasant leaders, and forced evictions of land invaders (Harvey: 22).
		The EZLN communiques provoke peasants to occupy lands in Veracruz, Tabasco, Oaxaca and Guerrero (Gómez: 21).

		The "Peasant rebellion" theory or model of occupying the land is founded on the social world of Canaan in the 13th century B.C.E. Before its occupation by the Israelites, Canaan was dominated by city-states.
		The "Song of Deborah" in Judges 5, one of the oldest pieces of literature in the Old Testament, is the nearest glimpse we have of the revolt itself.

	The Peasant Uprising in Chiapas by Meche Sierra Rojas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The true importance of this movement lies, on the one hand, in that it is the just armed rebellion of the peasants and Indians, that has awakened the people and fanned the flames of rebellion throughout Mexico and has inspired and heartened the oppressed and revolutionary people throughout the world.
		The struggle for land was the main detonator of this rebellion, and the rebellion has also encouraged various land seizures in Chiapas and in other states.
		However, the basis for this sector is the peasant economy, which is still subjugated with semifeudal forms and which provides the more capitalist sector with a superexploited labor force and which is also exploited and oppressed with more openly semifeudal forms by the landlords and "caciques" (the reactionary landlord chieftains).

	Strategy and Tactics of Armed Struggle in Nepal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Thousands of peasants defied the law and administration to destroy the bond papers of the local feudal tyrants, to break their granaries, to start a cultural movement to snub the pride of the feudals, thus spearheading the violent struggles.
		Although there were deep shortcomings in the leadership in terms of petit-bourgeois mechanistic and “leftist” adventurist tendencies, it was however an important far-reaching rebellion against the autocratic feudal rule of the king and against the rightist reformist tendencies that had become deeply entrenched in the Nepalese communist movement.
		The long-term aim of the Party is to move towards socialist revolution after the successful completion of the new democratic revolution as an integral part of the world proletarian socialist revolution and to achieve communism by waging cultural revolutions based upon the theory of continuing the revolution under the dictatorship of the proletariat.

	Peasant Rebellion in Bohemia, 1775
		The bulk of the costs of the war had been burdened on the peasants and burghers of the core Habsburtg territories, while the privileged estates - nobility and higher clergy, lived in luxury and comparative idleness.

		The peasants were no match for professional forces; however, it the forces remained in Bohemia for another two years until the rebellion was regarded subsided.

	Libedinsky, Yu.N. - SovLit.com - Encyclopedia of Soviet Authors
		Libedinsky's first novel, Nedelya ("A Week") (1922), concerning Communists caught up in a peasant rebellion in a remote town in the Urals, was one of the first significant works of the young Soviet literature and made Libedinsky an instant star.
		The novel exposes a profound failing in the structure of the Party, which results in those who are good in speech-making being advanced over those who actually understand the peasants and know how to run the factories.
		The work is also frank in its portrayal of the deep and intense hatred the peasants had for the Bolsheviks and how tenuous was the Soviet grasp on power.

		The case studies themselves revamp the history of Andean peasant rebellion and consciousness in Peru and Bolivia.
		This is accomplished by studying violent uprisings as transitional moments within a long-term trajectory embracing varied forms of resistance, and by scrutinizing closely the ideological and cultural aspects of domination, political legitimacy, and rebellion.

		He points to the existence of a combative and democratic labor movement in his chapter entitled, Workers Plot Rebellion on Northern Border.
		While hailing the expansion of civil society, he laments that it is not more politicized and did not take up the economic and social matters that most affected workers, peasants, and the poor.

	H-Net Review: Doug Friedman on Democracy in Mexico: Peasant Rebellion and Political Reform
		It is this failure to take into account the international dimension that I think leads to La Botz's mistakenly relying upon the Mexican workers' movement for Mexico's democratization.
		The focus on peasant rebellion in Mexico and on its role historically takes such a central place in his story that one begins to suspect that the subtitle of the work, "Peasant Rebellion and Political Reform," might have been a more apt main title.
		This is not the case, for La Botz expands the focus of the work outward to include all of the contemporary progressive forces that have in one way or another contributed to the cause of political reform in Mexico.
