    Yeah. There's a ton of people who think Hunger Games is some sort of communist dystopia or at least that the whole thing is just broadly "anti-authoritarian".

      It’s anti-imperialist it shows a core-periphery extraction and the displays of cruel violence sustaining it, it’s very heavy handed with it

        It’s so heavy handed and spot on, but I really just wished it didn’t trip at the finish line.

        spoilers

        Coin’s proposal to reinstate the hunger games didn’t make any sense. It was obvious to me that her actions had to be worked backwards from the conclusion. She was always suspect, but we needed to learn why in order to show that performing a revolution just to reinstate the same systems of oppression is wrong. But it wasn’t clear that anyone else was any better or that this death wouldn’t simple destabilize the people further.

            I don’t use the version from the text editor I just type it out. But I accidentally typed “spoilers” instead of “spoiler”. Fixed now. Thank you
