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

The struggle in this series reminds me a lot about the issue that has always been relevant to the U.S. since day one--the powers of individual states versus the powers of the federal government. Are each of the districts' goals after liberation to give their citizens full freedom, or would people like President Snow rise up in each district to fill in the power gap after the Capitol stops asserting control? I feel like this has a lot of similarity with the USSR and its dissolution in certain ways. Similar to Dalmo's point, would the political structures in each of the districts be OK with the Capitol's oppression of their people if the wealth was more evenly distributed, or if the Capitol catered to the upper class of each individual district?
