    It’s a latent thing. The people who are good at revolutions typically aren’t good at running a country. In a lot of circumstances they are purged because a new power doesn’t need a whole bunch of trained and practiced revolutionaries around who aren’t well suited for civic duties. Maybe put another way, the people thinking about revolution aren’t typically thinking about waste management, roads, crops, and so on.
