Sauron and collectivism - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Collectivism is one extreme on a continuum, the other being radical individualism. The healthy medium in between these two is community.

Those in LotR who reflect Collectivism are Orcs and the Nazgul.

Those who reflect radical individualism are Gollum, Saruman, Denethor, and Sauron.

Those who reflect community are the Hobbits, the Fellowship of the Ring, and all the Free Peoples.
