How much of peasant involvement was Lenin's actual theory and not just circumstance? As I recall most of the peasantry were left-SRs, not Bolsheviks. Lenin definitely adapted to the circumstances but im not aware of him planning to. Mao however made peasant involvement very explicit in his theories.

If anything the main issue with communist revolutions is that the peasantry and farming is way more important than industry and labor. I don't know of a nation with a successful socialist revolution where redistribution of farmland wasn't a primary issue.
