Which is the greater threat... Disciplinarians or libertines?

This comic strip sheds light on who was most correct... George Orwell with 1984 or Aldous Huxley with Brave New World? The first dystopia is disciplinarian and fascist, the latter one is libertine and pacifist. Which is the greater threat?

In a related question, would you rather live as a chimpanzee in a violent patriarchal society or as a bonobo in a matriarchal one noted for free love?
