Anthem

Ian Land grew up with the rise of global collectivism, not only in Communist Russia that flew in 1926, but also in fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, and the motherland she adopted, on an amazing scale. It was. Land identified collectiveism - the idea that individuals should be conquered and sacrificed for common interest - not only the moral evil but also the underlying cause of political evil, and Swallow the world of civilization

In the summer of 1937, Rand worked at The Fountainhead, writing a novel called Anthem. This is a very short story about the future distropia. Just as the word "I" has disappeared from the language.

The national anthem was first published in the UK in 1938 and was rejected by American publishers led by groupists in the 1930s - the American version (the land was slightly modified) will not show up until 1946 It was

"In my Soviet Russian school days, when I heard any malicious attack against individualism, I got the idea of ​​[theme of the national anthem] and the man lost the word" I " I asked myself. What kind of world? "

Anthem is Ein Land's 'self-praising man'. This is the story of people who oppose totalitarianism and collectivist society. Equality 7-2521 is a young man enthusiastic about understanding "material science". But he lives in the dark, the future of fainting, the independent thought is a crime, science and technology has returned to its original level

In the national anthem world, all individualistic expressions are suppressed, no personal property exists, personal tastes are condemned as being forbidden for sinful romantic love. Since the obedience to the group is deeply rooted, the word "I" has disappeared from the language.

In pursuit of pursuit of his knowledge, equality 7-2521 strives to answer his deep inner question - these problems will eventually reveal the mystery behind the collapse of society in the end, It leads to finding the key to freedom and progress

Anthem expects the theme of Rand's first bestseller The Fountainhead. She calls it "not the individualism and collectivism, but the political, not the human soul".

"It's dark, the flame of the candle is still floating in the air, there is nothing on paper other than our hands, there is nothing to move through this tunnel, we are alone on the ground This is a terrible word, not alone This is a big illegal and fundamental cause of all sins, so it may be lonely among men, but we are in violation of many laws. So the wall in front of us is the shadow on our head ...

"We steal the candle from the street vacuum cleaner and if we find it we will be sentenced to 10 years for correcting the detention, but that is not a problem.The important thing is that light is valuable Do not waste it when writing a crime.Work, our secret, our badness, and nothing more important than our important work. "

I would like to have an national anthem in place of all the countries that have their national anthem. If so, all countries need to keep their national anthem and provide different national anthems to people all over the world. Even if I do not care, as long as everyone's moral is high, I like to see people gather.

From a very young age, the national anthem of our country of birth is deeply rooted in our memory, aiming for unity and pride in our house. But what do we know about foreign national anthem? Indeed, many of us may not even know that the history behind our own national anthem, or that characteristic poems are rarely sung. So far, since I refused Colin Kapnik of San Francisco 49ers quarterback to represent the national anthem in 2016, I heard that he has occupied much of the controversy in the American media. Do you believe that he and all of them are effective to protest against the racial injustice of the United States, or if you believe that such behavior does not express respect

The national anthem conflict began with original San Francisco 49 quarterbacks, Colin Kappenick. During the national anthem, Kaepernick protested the treatment of ethnic minorities in the Americas. In October 2017, Papa John's Pizza canceled the title of "official sponsorship" of television commercials because of how NFL handling of national anthem protest action is different.
