Tolkien didn't like democracy, but that doesn't mean he thought we should be under dictatorships - take a look at Morgoth, Sauron and Saruman for examples of what happens then. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
He treats monarchies fairly, although ebcause of the Elven influcence there are more good monarchs than in reality. But Numenor, Rohan, Gondor, all had monarchs ranging from inadequate to evil.
From his letters it seems to me that he didn't like how democracy had turned out - just look at the corruption and sycophancy in modern politics. He actually stated in one letter that he was a political anarchist - ie, nobody is ruled by anyone else.
