I thought that the way the government worked was fine. Everyone goes where they fit in most, everyone has a better life. But the Erudite and Dauntless leaders got greedy and decided to take over the government as well as destroy Abnegation.
I think it's wrong to ask for more and more when you already have something great. The government was set up perfectly. Leaders from Abnegation, chosen because of their known selflessness, lead as they see fit. I don't think there was any reason to change that.
And because of what the Erudite and Dauntless did, Abnegation was attacked. The only reason Beatrice wasn't being mind-controlled is because she is divergent. But being divergent doesn't really make you that different. In the book they make it seem like it does but it doesn't. They make a big deal out of it but she made her choice. And in the end being divergent went well.
In conclusion I think it was for the factions of Dauntless and Erudite to team up against Abnegation because they didn't like the job they were doing. Their whole government was built to prevent war and keep the peace so the least they could do is talk it out first and try to reach a compromise.
I totally agree with your introduction! I did feel bad for the Abnegation!
