"Anarchy (philosophically understood, meaning abolition of control not whiskered men with bombs) or to unconstitutional monarchy."
He was an anti-modernity reactionary Christian who basically believed the feudal system was some kind of natural order, simple, beautiful, as god intended and that all this government, state and parliament nonsense ruined the simplicity of a simple peasant and his absolute despot. A guy who was afraid to use tape recorders and only started using one after recording the lord's prayer first to cast out the demons. I don't know why people think he would have any coherent or sane politics.
Not even a fully developed feudal system but Saxon era Britain with small kingdoms ruled by warrior chieftains with just "pure" illiterate hobbit peasants and a bunch of monks and priests. You basically get LOTR but in reality it was more like ASOIAF-GoT and reactionaries are generally delusional.
