This paper investigates the socio-political and ideological aspects of the Peasant Uprising of 1952–1953, through a period where Kurdayetî (Kurdishness) was the dominating ideological force behind mobilising the Kurdish people in conducting collective political action. While Komala, following its ‘announcement of existence’ in 1979, concentrated its class-based mobilisation in Iranian Kurdistan, the Kurdish peasants in the Mukryan region of Iranian Kurdistan had already in 1952–1953 initiated a class-inspired struggle, aimed at challenging the centuries-old feudal-landlord system in Kurdistan. Due to the way this uprising was established and conducted, it has been argued as being among the first collective class-inspired political rebellions in Iranian Kurdistan.
