Take the plunge! Okay! posted:Yeah, the anarchist planet feels a lot like "conform and contribute, or you're dead". I guess that in the not-USA you could just choose to waste your life away with a bottle of not-Budweiser in front of the TV. No such option on Anarres. Anarres handles sexuality better in the sense that they seem to be more open and less repressed about it, but conversely they seem to use their weirdo passive aggression to discourage monogamy or raising your own children, and this leads to all sorts of resentments (like Shev's whole relationship with "the mother"). The whole point of the novel seems to be in the duality of basically everything, showing the positive and negative side of every possible philosophical stance.
