Because Communist Ideology stresses that the ruling class and aristocracy must be dissolved through populist revolution by the poor working classes. China in the time of Mao was made up of a poor peasant majority, thus they would be essential in bringing about the idealized classless state. As Mao said: "strength lies in numbers," and the peasants far outnumbered the aristocrats and landlords of early 20th century China.
