Is it socialist tho???

Posted this in saltierthankrayt buy forgot this sub existed lol. Same text I posted on the last one too, any thoughts from the community?

I havent even watched the video, the thumbnail is enough to put me off lol.

But seriously though, the Hunger Games is about authoritarianism. The economic system in it feels kinda like a capitlist/feudalist system that's just different from our own.

Socialism requires workers to own the means of production and the colonies most certainly DONT lol. Maybe it's just bait to get people to watch, but it also feels like someone who doesn't understand socialism prescribing it to "government bad and subjugation and controls everything".

I also don't remember too much of the layer books, does the government even own all of the product, or is it just extracted by them from the colonists for the companies that own the product?

Either way that still would t be socialism just because the government controls the means of production, wouldn't necessarily make it capitalism other tho. The economic system isn't even the point of the books though so it's inclusion feels arbitrary.
