Well, that'd be basically accurate historically speaking; few popular revolts and suchlike ANYWHERE EVER got very far other than an early grave without the sorts of people who had actual education, leadership training, combat skills and wargear, etc. etc. pitching in - and rare was the uprising that couldn't find at least a handful of (at the very least opportunistic) sympathisers among the upper classes. It's really amazing what even highly-privileged upper aristocrats could get behind for any bizarre constellation of personal reasons and beliefs. And if the warrior aristocracy of the setting has *actual* bonafide hereditary abilities above and beyond those resulting from, y'know, wealth and training and upbringing and connections etc. as in the real world, well, that kind of both rather strengthens their practical claim to inherited privilege and right rule in the first place (since when you get down to it that tended to boil down to being able to beat people up and still does, we've just graduated from private warlord retinues to national standing armies and police forces - scholars call this territorial sovereignty and state monopoly on legitimate violence; also, faster rotation and less pure crapshoot of genetics in terms of leadership), and doubles down hard on the need for dissenting sympathisers for any viable bid to shake up whatever happens to be the current status quo. After all if your overlord is the actual fucking Superman and you don't have a royal flush of Kryptonite at hand (and he'd have to be bloody retarded to not put all of that under lock and key, though how trustworthy the people he then has guarding it might be another matter entirely...) then fighting him is kind of a losing proposition unless you can find someone of at least roughly equal power to even the odds.
