What was his tax policy?

What was his tax policy?

He taxed the rich at a higher rate than he did the poor

Reminder that Tolkien was super liberal and would lean left nowadays

why would he need to tax anything when he had dominion over his subjects

Reminder than no one gives a shit.

Thne just ignore that post

well um............shut the FUCK up

in the books, weren't the orcs' homes' locations in mordor all centrally planned and laid out with 'efficiency'.

sauron was probably a communist dictator akin to stalin. there probably were no taxes because the inhabitants didn't have any property to tax. the government owned everything; the clothes the orcs wore, the weapons they used, the living quarters they stayed in, and sauron was the government.

Why did no-one ever praise him for his vision of bringing jobs and industry to the dated agricultural economy of the Shire? Are the Last Alliance luddites?

>tolkien literally based everything off of real life contemporary to his time england and the big bad was russia
gee it's like a revelation struck you just now, user. you realize OP is just joking?

He taxes at a rate of 100%

>liberal
>makes fantasy world devoid of political or social understanding
makes sense

liberal ≠ modern alt-liberal we see today

Tolkien was not liberal at all, he was a devout roman-catholic.

No True Liberal

fuck off with your fallacy bullshit, you know damn well alt-liberal antifa commies are completely off their rocker

Slaves pay no taxes. And there is just one master.

Christianism is super liberal

>Roman Catholic
>Monarchist
>Traditionalist
>Against democracy
>Against capitalism and industrialisation
"Liberal"

Mordor's industry is nationalised and orcs aren't even considered human but for the sake of the argument, let's say they have the same legal status as slaves. There are no taxes because orcs operate on a scavenger economy and Sauron owns the land and infrastructure.

A more important question might be what his social polocies were?

"SUBMIT AND OBEY."

>looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!

This throws everything we thought we knew about orcs on its head

That’s just human and (((elf))) propaganda. They are scared because they know that Sauron has the most advanced and progressive society and they tried to make sure he was seen unfavorably so his influence wouldn’t spread

Super liberal at Tolkiens time is the far-alt right of today.

All it tells me is that orcs are cannibals, which is hardly surprising.

>people actually believe this

It's true. All of it.

How did they all plan on sharing just two hobbits?

>le linear history


“Omnia sunt communia, ‘All property should be held in common’ and should be distributed to each according to his needs, as the occasion required. Any prince, count, or lord who did not want to do this, after first being warned about it, should be beheaded or hanged.”
