The "incentive" is the same as what will happen to people no matter what. People that did what they were told in the soviet union were hungry and tortured just the same as the people that didn't comply.

That's the problem, for them. When the only tool you have is making people miserable it's going to make them so miserable that they finally don't care anymore. At that point it's your asses hanging from a tree, not the plebs.
