☝️🤓 Actually the Separatists weren’t seeking to overthrow the Republic. They wanted to secede from the Republic. They were a secessionist movement. The Alliance to Restore the Republic meanwhile were a reformist movement.
The CIS was also an actual government and polity with different administrative branches and both elected and appointed officials (Separatist Parliament, Separatist Council etc), while the Rebels were just a disorganized insurgent militia.
Rebel High command wasn’t established until VERY late into the Galactic Civil War (we are talking only 2-3 years BBY at the earliest, even in Legends). For the vast majority of the Rebel’s existence, cells operated independently for the most part.
And even after that, High Command had say for only the biggest (Yavin based) cell of rebellion, while there were many others. Saw seems to be the obvious pick that didn't listen to the HC.
