What are two trends, norms, or systems that are criticized and exaggerated in Anthem?

The main system criticized throughout Anthem and Ayn Rand's work as a whole is "collectivism." As Rand sees it, this is both a political and an economic system in which the individual is suppressed, forced to subordinate themselves to the population as a whole. Under such a method of government, she believes, progress is impossible, because humankind has advanced only when people have been free to think and act for themselves, on their own initiative, and not out of a selfless concern for "society" or the "masses." In the dystopia she depicts, humanity has been plunged into a primitive, pre-technology era in which those achievements made possible earlier, such as electricity, have been lost or destroyed.
As always in Rand's works, a lone pathbreaker, in this case Equality-7, breaks the mold, asserts himself, and escapes from or defeats the collectivist forces which have tried to squelch him and which have as their aim the destruction of man. A corollary of this negative collectivist system is a misguided (in Rand's view) system of morality that preaches altruism and denial. Contrary to the teachings of most of the world's religions, Rand believes that it's wrong and counterproductive to be "selfless," to see that which benefits others as having more value than that which benefits oneself. (The title of one of her non-fiction books is The Virtue of Selfishness.) In Anthem, it is only by denying or rejecting the primacy of "the collective" and focusing on and asserting his individual will that Equality-7 makes the progress he does: the re-invention of electricity and the escape along with Liberty-5, the Golden One, to the pre-dystopian world of the Unmentionable Times in the forest.
