Martin Luther's ideas were questioning the church and this led to the peasants rioting against the church because they realized that the Catholics weren't always right. !
luther condenmed both the peasants for the violent nature of the revolts.
When peasants revolted in the 1500s, particularly during events like the German Peasants' War of 1524-1525, they sought to address grievances related to oppressive feudal systems, high taxes, and social injustices. The revolts, fueled by the ideas of the Reformation and calls for social reform, initially gained widespread support. However, they were ultimately crushed by local princes and mercenary forces, leading to severe reprisals against the insurgents. The uprisings highlighted the deep social and economic tensions of the time but resulted in little immediate change for the peasant class.
Peasants generally supported Luther's religious ideas because his teachings emphasized individual faith and a direct relationship with God, which resonated with their desires for spiritual autonomy. Additionally, Luther's criticism of the Church's corruption and its exploitation of the poor aligned with the peasants' grievances against feudal oppression. Many saw his call for reform as a potential catalyst for social change and greater rights, leading them to rally behind his message.
They were burning the ideas that kept them slaves. The rules and the laws.

While on the long march, Mao easily won over Tibetan and Chinese peasants by influencing them with communist Ideals such as "all power to the workers" and, "glory to the working class." These were generally accepted Ideas and the peasants were easily won over. Mao deprived the nationalists of a working class and they were forced to retreat to taiwan!

You can look for existing studies that support your ideas or conduct an experiment to prove your hypothesis.
Luther's debate with the pope was so famous that even peasants in the countryside had heard about it. They liked what they heard about Luther. The life of a peasant had always been hard, but in the 1520s, it was terrible. The crops had been poor for several years. On top of that, noble landowners increased the taxes that peasants had to pay. Because of their suffering, Luther's ideas stirred the peasants to revolt. If Luther had a right to rebel against an unjust pope, then the peasants must have a right to stand up to greedy nobles. The peasants began by listing their demands. Like Luther, they based their ideas on The Bible. One leader said the peasants would no longer work for the nobles, "unless it should be shown us from the Gospel that we are serfs."
