Tolkien and Western Government - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I believe that Tolkien disliked all modern forms of government. He would have supported the return of an Absolute Monarchy. (He was, like all geniuses, not quite right in the head.)

The only thing he liked about America was their films; he was an avid cinema-goer. He loathed American music.

Maybe someone with a better memory and more time could give some quotes from his letters?
