We currently have an authoritarian government that is based on ripping off wealthy and productive people and giving away tons of free stuff to the unproductive "poor."
The authoritarian government of THG is a government of the wealthy based on the principle that all wealth is stolen from the poor. The THG government is effectively the New York Times/Salon.com/The Nation/Mother Jones caricature of a conservative government.

The money from your ticket will help fund contributions by the Hollywood supporters of our current regime.
The books, like the movie, are a leftist fantasy about what would happen if conservatives controlled the government.
Enjoy the movie, but don't pretend that it somehow has a conservative message.
