It really bothers me how any discussion of a story on a political level is a sign of "taking things too seriously or whatever"- guys, fiction is SUPPOSED to make a statement! Certainly, it doesn't have to, and certainly, you can just enjoy the story, but often it does, and while I am a D- literature fan and aren't intimately familiar with this story, it sounds pretty fucking political already.

It's half and half. Mostly, it's about Christian morality and whether repentance can make a criminal a good person. There's also a pretty general message that good and evil eventually balance out, except for the Thénardiers. The setting is the years leading up to the June Rebellion, which was more a problem of poor hygiene and living conditions, high bread and living prices, and harvest failures all rolled up in a cholera epidemic than any real fault of the monarchy.

It was both highly political and just another uprising after the French Revolution (http://thisdaythen.blogspot.com/2012/06/7th-june-1832-end-of-june-rebellion-in.html#!/2012/06/7th-june-1832-end-of-june-rebellion-in.html).
