Morality of the book

I think the book is not Anarchists morality, because the Anarchists means there is no government control the society. I think the book is both Christian morality and socialist morality, because in the Brave New World, people believe in Henry Ford, they believe everything that he says, just like Christian people believe in Jesus. people see Henry Ford as their God. If Henry Ford says something is right to do, then they will do it; if Henry Ford say something that people couldn't do, then nobody would try to do it. The book is also Socialist morality, because the society in the World State is determined by the government. Government tells them what to do, what do not do. For examples: goverment tells them to take somas, which is a kind of drug that would make people feel happy, and they also encourage people to have sex with more than one person. The goverment doesn't want them to be unhappy. They want people to have fun and enjoy their time in the sociey. So, the goventment produce the kids by mechine instead of telling women to give birth. So, I think the book is both Chritian morality and Socialist morality.

It was interesting; however, I can't say I agree with you. I think their practice towards Ford is a like a religious practice, but it doesn't have anything to do with their morality. Their morality completely opposes what we know as religious morality. Also, having castes completely opposes socialist morality which encompasses social equality.
