citizens may live in a dehumanized state.
"Scrap metal was hung all over him. Ordinarily... but Harrison looked like a walking junkyard."
To achieve equality people may be forced to live in a dehumanized manner and hinder their abilities.
idividuality and dissent is bad
"And she had to apologize for her voice, which was a ver unfair voice for a woman to use."
When a government takes total control of a society individuality may be seen as a horrible thing and be destroyed
indepenent thought is restricted
" George was toying with the vague notion that maybe dancers shouldn't be handicapped. but he didn't get very far with it before another noise in his ear radio scattered his thoughts."
If total equality is achieved independent thought will be considered unfair and may be eliminated.
