Matthew Scheible’s comments from the On Tyrants & Tributes : Real World Lessons From The Hunger Games group.

I think the books bring up the point that a revolution need not be a seizing of power, but a return to equality as it was. The effort of the revolution was to keep what was theirs by right (labor, livelihood and their children) and not necessarily to impose an oppressive regime of revenge on their former oppressors. Ideally readers would see that the violence only occurred when the districts refused to pay "tribute".
