The Shire and its institutions are wholly dominated by a few porky hobbits and aristocratic families.

stupid reactionary movies

LOTR is veiled Christian apologetics mixed with Luddism as an answer to the horror of the world wars.

They're pre-capitalist, they need a proper burgeois revolution.

It was very technophobic overall yeah
Saruman did nothing wrong.

Not really.
They sort of embodied Tolkien's childhood memories of his hometown (which industrialized while he was growing up). While industrialization no doubt made a lot of things worse for his town, Tolkien's very idyllic "merry old England" concept of pre-industrial England was undoubtedly due to the fact that he was a child.

Literally nothing wrong.

J.R Tolkien has said repeatedly that his works are escapists fan fiction and don't have any deep politicial commentary or message. If there's something about world war 2 or religion it wasn't intentional. Stop trying to relate every piece of media to ideologies. It's incredibly obnoxious and feeds into stereotypess about leftists.

I dont know enough about how the shire manages its property and resources to give an adequate judgement.
But Bilbo was a hoarding cunt.

Ryder Parker
More like anarcho-feudalists really.
Camden Barnes
Not really anarcho-feudalism, more like just a fairytale feudalism where everyone is happy.
