No, you're being obtuse. The scenario is a post end of days revival from nothing. Why or how would the government practice sterilization or forced restriction of labor when there isn't a continuation of current government at all? Its for rebuilding. Creating a new culture. One where you can prioritize education on our balance with nature and the importance to sustain balance.

If your only solution to a problem is the government has to force people to comply, you aren't really looking for solutions, you're just trying to shut town the people who are.
