If you have not dropped by the SF Fandom forums in the last week or two, you might want to check out this discussion on
Tolkien's views on Nazism, Socialism, and Communism. I thought it was an interesting question from user
badlands and I took a stab at explaining what I think Tolkien might have thought of these political ideologies. In fact, I could not rule out any possible connection to Tolkien's fiction. What do you think? Might Morgoth and Sauron have represented something more than just "dark lords"?
