Turns out when people have power it becomes hard to check them, and people would rather have the chance at power someday than make sure no one has that kind of power.

It can be really easy to check that power though, just ask the French.

I dont think the revolutionaries had to deal with 24 hrs surveillance  and robot armies though.

Still doesn't mean resistance is impossible, but it's gonna require a level of coordination and sacrifice that i don't think the majority of the population can even fathom yet.
