What Did You Think?

Why wouldn't it be so inclusive? The idea is that a dystopian government always fails when a revolutionary unravels everything. But why wouldn't the totalitarian regime have fail safe against it in place? Would it be so difficult to have several false rebels in place to make any upstart revolutionaries spent years working for nothing. Or the far more real possibility of pacifying anyone and everyone as a sheer prevention of any upheaval. I guess the question I am really asking is why is the bad guy so inept? I can accept that the villain always loses but why are they so stupid?
