There must be a socio-linguistic gap here.
In the US (and probably in Canada/UK/ANZ), there's an expression
that after the revolution is won, the revolutionary leaders are
brought "out back" and shot.
The meaning is that the firebrand personality and temperament needed
to foment and lead a revolution is counter to those needed to run
the country once the revolution is over. But the revolutionaries
obviously don't want to give up power, and they'd cause too many
headaches and embarrassments, so "professional politicians" quickly
step in and have the firebrands "neutralized".
