that's oversimplifying it. the orcs were demanding the revitalization of the farming and agricultural industries, possibly through an initial attempt to diversify their tactics of raiding into something that focuses more on the seizure and safe transport of livestock and grain.

>>79561952
no, it was a temporary tactic employed by saruman to force rohan to submit to his will. his intention was to make rohan a march of isengard, in his vision, isengard would be the urbanized, industrialized heart of his empire, rohan being the main supplier of manpower but dependent on isengard for food and manifactured goods, and shire would be the agricultural vassal that supplies both isengard and rohan with mainly farmed produce.

>>79562021
are you sure Isengard parliament greenlighted it?

>>79562058
isengard at the time was a dictatorship, saruman was the only decisive element, any semblance of bureaucracy was dominated by uruks that were very loyal to saruman thanks to his eugenics program. what's troubling is what would've happened to the united fascist states of isengard after saruman's demise, but as he is an immortal magical being, it's obvious saruman intended to stay in power for as long as possible.

you're very right to draw that parallel. mordor, on the other hand, was more like a pre-revolution russia. tolkien's main goal with the book was to introduce people to the complex issues that he assumed would arise after the second world war. he, therefore, very accurately constructed a ww2-cold war era fantasy realm. his impeccable details of the financial conditions of the times was very well praised.

I've been laundering money through Bilbo's accounts until my condo is built."

>When writing The Lord of the Rings Tolkien continued many of the themes he had set up in The Hobbit. When giving Dwarves their own language (Khuzdul) Tolkien decided to create an analogue of a Semitic language influenced by Hebrew phonology. Like medieval Jewish groups, the Dwarves use their own language only amongst themselves, and adopted the languages of those they live amongst for the most part, for example taking public names from the cultures they lived within, whilst keeping their "true-names" and true language a secret.[10] Along with a few words in Khuzdul, Tolkien also developed runes of his own invention (the Cirth), said to have been invented by Elves and later adopted by the Dwarves. Tolkien further underlines the diaspora of the Dwarves with the lost stronghold of the Mines of Moria. In The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien uses the main dwarf character Gimli to finally reconcile the conflict between Elves and Dwarves through showing great courtesy to Galadriel and forming a deep friendship with Legolas, which has been seen as Tolkien's reply toward "Gentile anti-Semitism and Jewish exclusiveness".[6]

Tolkien also elaborated on Jewish influence on his Dwarves in a letter: "I do think of the 'Dwarves' like Jews: at once native and alien in their habitations, speaking the languages of the country, but with an accent due to their own private tongue..."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf_%28Middle-earth%29

I hope you guys are enjoying your movie where you learn to love and respect the Jews and see them as action heroes.

>>79565913
Yes, its not commonly known, but Tolkien was a strong supporter of anarcho capitalism.
Gollum (the state) was always on the lookout for his precious (taxes) and he would even go as far as to betray his fellow men to get his precious.
Tolkien despised taxes, as they are, in his words "just another way for those money grubbing jews to bleed the average man dry".
Its also the reason why the roads in middle earth are so shit.

Darth Plagueis was an accountant, so powerful and so wise he could use Excel to create profits ... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from entering a higher tax bracket. The dark side of accounting is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was being audited, which eventually, of course, he was. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from estate taxes, but not himself.
