Actually the real drive in the communist revolution is the communist intelligentsia who are capable of organize the urbanite workers who become the soldiers of the revolution. In specific situations - typically for guerrilla warfare - they need to win the support of the peasantry living in the back country. But frankly this only works if the peasants are hostile toward the ruling power in the first place, it's hard - if not impossible - to turn them against someone who means no danger to them, to their property and way of life.
