Another contributing factor to this idea is the issue of money or material compensation. It has been established that there are (I might be off, but I'm pretty sure I read this.) additional perks provided to those who excell in their roll within the qun. Such advantages may include permission to procreate ectera and so on, however, if there is no material compensation for services rendered then that helps to keep the value of any position neutral. If a governer lives eats and relaxes in the exact same manner as a serf the only thing to really define themselves is their roll within the qun.
It seemed to me that procreation wasn't seen as a good thing or an enjoyable thing; it just was another duty (especially considering the controlled selection involved). You bring up an interesting question though: in a society without material desire or private property, how does one get rewarded for doing well? Maybe the virtue is its own reward?
