Tolkien would approve:
Tolkien's problem with capitalist oppressors was that they got in the way of feudalist oppressors.
Eh sorta but its more complicated than that. His fondness for feudal society was less "its hecking wholesome when the aristocrats are in charge and oppress people" and more "its easier to kill an aristocrat with knights and a wooden house than a capitalist with a steel bunker and aeroplanes and bombs" and "at least feudal society wasnt cannabalising nature and homogenising society as much."
he also liked that feudalism gave a human face to oppression. it was your local lord who was stealing your surplus value, a dude you grew up alongside. not some faceless government.
