No king rules alone. So yes, a dictator has to keep his key positions happy. Money spent on useless citizens is money not spent for your ruling infrastructur. And uneducated hungry citizens make bad revolutuonarys.
I like this answer - succinct and to the point, but the last sentence is vague because "bad revolutionary" could mean "incompetent revolutionary" or "evil revolutionary" (am I missing a third meaning?). I'm assuming you didn't mean evil, but even so, an "incompetent" revolutionary could have issues with the execution of the revolution (eg. lack of courage) or with the desired outcome (eg. rallying behind a populist cause blindly). Would you care to clarify?
I believe they were paraphrasing part of a CGP Grey video, and if so, then "bad revolutionary" would mean a revolutionary not fit to revolt. Either by hunger, general weakness, or incompetence.
