    It sounds odd, but I think it makes sense that only an anarchist could have written such a compelling monarchist as Aragorn. Write what you know - and an anarchist knows how upstanding a king would need to be to seem worthy.

      He wasn’t really an anarchist, the quote is cut off.

      The full quote follows with “(philosophical ly understood, meaning abolition of control, not whiskered men with bombs) - or to ‘unconstitutional’ monarchy.” And a lot more after that, that “…” Is straight misinformation warfare.

      So he either wanted a divine right ruler or tribal warlords, not mutual aidtopia. With no molotovs! Cringe.
