Anthem or V ?

The way society was portrayed in Anthem, I do not see modern times ever becoming like that. The government would have to do a major turn around to even get remotely close in controlling our lives the way the peoples were in Anthem. Yes, they could become more strict on certain rules but it would take ALOT to get as strict as what the council was in Anthem. I don't think that being referred to and known by a label and permitted to do certain things by that label is realistic like in Rand's novel. All of her novels she stressed the importance of individuality, I think that was her only meaning, and not trying base it on a reality or not. I think a future if having to choose, would be that of V. His is more practical in a human sense.
