My main question is that is it possible that Council communism, a philosophy advocating complete worker's control, be applied to a nation of mostly peasants? Would Council communists support permenant revolution? Could this belief be applied to Third World nations at all? Or is this belief only formed on a modernized nation of workers as the main forces of production?

I doubt it. Not just any particular version of communism either.

Third world countries just don't have the capital to socialize production of everyday goods.

State capitalism on the other hand can and often does do "good" stuff in the third world, like accelerating its full integration into the global capitalist economy. Think of it like priming a grenade for detonation.

So while stuff like Maoism (an idealogy actually aimed at peasants) can produce positive results those results are not related to anything communist.

The material means that influence a persons class consciousness simply do not exist in the third world. It would be utopian (or just pretty unscientific) to think that any kind of idealogy, be it ultra left communism or marxist-leninism, can really change people's minds because its "right".

Peasants are peasants and they need to become proletarians before there can be a proletarian revolution...pretty simple right?
