We go in a different direction with this episode, as the story itself isn't on the hot seat, but the ideology being presented. What parallels can we make from this fictional world? And is America along with the rest of the west doomed to have this become a reality? How does a Marxist society compare with the traditional west in regards to morality and values? The lessons from Suzanne Collins' novel shouldn't be ignored or dismissed as hyperbolic. It is a foreshadow of things to come if the political implications in her story are disregarded. Her story is worth investigating!
