Collectivist Society Depicted in Ayn Rand’s Anthem

Ainland's anthem is an enchanting novel whose main task is to serve his brother depicting a society suffering from the collectiveist bad results. She paints a culture of oppression that I do not hear the word "I", and men belong to the group "us". The life of a man is determined by a technical committee that maintains a powerful dictatorship regime by conquering the people from the outset. "There is no reason to use the body to strain the earth if your brother does not need you." (Chapter 1) This idea is emphasized to maintain social average mentality strongly .

The adventure of Annland's Art depicts an extreme version of a collectivist society. One of the main characters is equality 7-2521 or Prometheus. He is a traitor, opposed to the government to learn and discover. The national anthem regime is similar to collectivism, but no one can distinguish by real name, but we train people to fully respect the authoritarian through the number. Authoritarian

Another remarkable aspect of this story is a depiction of a collectivist society as a return to science, technology and industry collapse. In Anthem, Ayn Rand depicts the darkest future of the future. Her view on collective society contrasts with George Orwell's view in the 1984 novel. Orwell and Land agree on the moral fear of these societies - personal rights, slave labor, lessons learned, under these conditions, not being able to think or say, fear and complete absence of unnecessary repression. But Orwell predicted the state of totalitarian scientific and technological progress. In 1984, with the great advance in hard science, the ability to participate in the control of ideas was born. On the other hand, the national anthem shows that the ban on freedom brings about a deterioration in primitive living. Her theory considers progress and scientific knowledge to be a product of independent thought.

Anthem is Ayn Rand's "human self admiration". This is a story of a man 's rebellion against all - people and collectivist society. Equality 7-2521 is a young man who is eager to understand "material science". However, he lived in the desolate piano's future, independent thinking was a crime, science and technology returned to its original level. In the national anthem world, personal preferences are condemned because all individual expression is suppressed, no personal property exists, sinfully romantic love is forbidden. Submission to a group is uprooted as deeply as the word "I" disappeared from the language.
