I'll take the opportunity to answer both.
The idea of the text is basically what you understand.
Creating and leading a revolt against a system is admirable. But to what extent is it really thought of in society as a whole and helps others and not just for self-interest? What's more, if you don't know how to drive, everything will either fail or be even worse.
In the example I wanted to use a bee not wanting to live the same as usual. Caught in the cultural system that it has always been. But I didn't know what the outside world was like beyond the rules and within a "working system." Convinced a few others and fate was the end of them.
But those who stayed, even with a few survived and re-eeged themselves, the state (government) continued, and even gained more strength with the example that happened. Since it's going to take a while for someone else to want to go out like this, because she's already seen the end that would be without a good plan.
