This is why after the revolution, most revolutionaries are eliminated - they can’t be trusted to fall in line.

Or is it one of those “loyal opposition” situations, where they pretend to have differences of opinion for show.

That recalls to mind the epic Doctor Who episode of a few years past, "The Zygon Inversion":

And when this war is over, when you have the homeland free ..., what do you think it's going to be like? Do you know? Have you thought about it? Have you given it any consideration? Because you're very close to getting what you want.

What's it going to be like? Paint me a picture. Are you going to live in houses? Do you want people to go to work? What'll be holidays? Oh! Will there be music? Do you think people will be allowed to play violins? Who will make the violins? Well?

Oh, You don't actually know, do you? Because, just like every other tantruming child in history, Bonnie, you don't actually know what you want. So, let me ask you a question about this brave new world of yours. When you've killed all the bad guys, and it's all perfect and just and fair, when you have finally got it exactly the way you want it, what are you going to do with the people like you? The troublemakers. How are you going to protect your glorious revolution from the next one?
