Everything always comes down to money and power.
It rarely goes beyond that.
When you have a shift in power (a revolution of sorts) in any situation you always have the "new establishment" form that thinks THEY are the ones that deserve the accolades. That they are the ones that deserve the rewards.
I mean just take a look at the Bolshevik revolution where they overthrown their king.
Did the people (community) really take over or did Lenin and his cronies come and in and install the new ruling party?
This, ofc, is just an anecdote but the parallels are vivid.
