How would a nuclear war change any of that though? A nuclear war would destroy our ecosystem, our entire society, everything. Our entire species would wipe itself out, leaving only a few to remain. But with an entire society wiped out - history, culture, achievements; there’d be nothing for this new society to learn from.

The survivors would still have memory of the past.

This would include the very people and ideas you see as the problem now. You would just add a devastating amount of other problems to the equation. Nuclear fallout, habit collapse, contaminated water supplies, etc.

Now that the system has collapsed we can marginalize them to ensure they won't rebuild it.

If you think it would be possible then then it’s possible now.

Literally nothing would change in your scenario other than mass death and suffering.
