A group of power, also called power factor or agent of power, is a group of private persons or entities, usually gathered by a common interest, which has power and social weight in certain sectors of society. They use their potential to be able to force the decisions that the State takes in their favor, notwithstanding the State when deciding, can dispense with its consultation, taking into account how much these decisions may affect these groups. Sometimes the power that the group has comes from a remarkable concentration of force or armaments, capital, or knowledge and information or institutional prestige

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
