Yep, bingo, though Marx never said the peasantry would oppose socialism, just that they would have petite bourgeois ideology, which is true.
I was more imagining Trotsky saying that the peasantry would while Stalin didn't, turning into a fued.
I didn't think Marx would even have an opinion on that issue.
It goes back to why the proletariat specifically is the main revolutionary class, which is historical materialism in action.
