The citizens must all be the same or they are punished. People live daily in fear because sins or transgressions are punished by lashing or physical harm. The government is very powerful and controls every aspect of the citizen’s lives. No rebellions or questions.

*In Anthem, for example, dehumanizes individuality within people.  Equality 7-2521 for the entire novel believes his desire to pursue his dreams makes him a sinner, even though it is only human.  When he first begins to think of himself, he says, “A strange thought comes to us: we wonder, for the first time in our life, what we look like.  Men never see their own faces and never ask their brothers about it, for it is evil to have concern for their own faces or bodies.  But tonight, for a reason we cannot fathom, we wish it were possible to us to know the likeness of our own person” (Rand 61).

*The society is clearly several centuries behind in technology, despite the leaders of the world claiming the plans have made the world as perfect as it gets.  A World Council member said to Equality 7-2521 when he introduced his invention, “This would wreck the Plans of the World Council¨ (Rand 74).  The fact that there is no electricity in the world immediately shows the reader that their “utopia” is clearly not perfect.

* The government goes beyond eliminating individuality and manipulates its citizens into the psychological state of their choice.  Tactics they used include surveillance, propaganda, torture, and paranoia.  The government frequently mandated all citizens participate in a “Two Minutes Hate,” where they were overwhelmed with government propaganda against foreign enemies.

* The society is clearly falling apart and in slow decline.  The government has to change its records in order to make it seem like they are giving more food rations and building more technology, even though they are actually doing the opposite.
