Anthem's government also completely controlled its society. That, too, is a scary thought. I hope neither of the governments ever get the chance to get root in our country. Once again, the way for Anthem's way of life to set foot in our life would be because we let it. Again, we elect people to represent us and the way we believe. However, if they have a hidden agenda , they can do whatever they want once they are in office.

As far as our future goes, the government in V for Vendetta seems more realistic. Granted, I never want it to happen, but it seems as one that our sketchy government could put into effect easier than Anthem's because we still retain rights that were given to us by the Constitution. Anthem's government completely removes the rights of the individual and removes all ideas of self worth and individual achievement. Hence, it seems easier for us to see a V for Vendetta government in the future, rather than the one in Anthem.

It is always possible for a government to become like the one in V for Vendetta. With Capitalism, the government is allowed to do what the people allow it to do. The people elect others to fill the positions in the government that they want them to fill. Because of that, one or many of the people elected in to office could be crooks and go against everything that they said they were going to do while in office. With the way our economy is going right now, and the president that we have, it seems as though we are somewhat headed in the direction of V for Vendetta. Our wealth is being redistributed for the common good of the people among other things. As sad as it is, we have allowed ourselves to get to this point, and now we have the wrong people in office to do something about it. Therefore, they can take us in whatever direction they would like us to go in. However, we are not to the extremity of V for Vendetta because we still have a choice and say so. We are still individuals and we can still make a difference. I hope that the socialist idea does not get further than it has already, because if it does, our lives as we know them will be over
