I can see that the ponies are too much like humans and the 'revolutionaries' turn out to be tyrants who want to replace Celestia's absolute rule with their absolute rule.

To teach the ponies a lesson, Celestia steps down and opens a small shop specialising in party tricks and the like in Ponyville (her first true love in terms of jobs). Within a year, the 'liberators' are giving Sombra a run for his money in the 'worst tyrants in Equestrian history' stakes. The ponies then come and beg Celestia to 'save' them and rule over them again.

Freedom also comes with the freedom to take the consequences for your choices.
