Nick is joined by Mike from TurnLeftist Podcast and Rick from Decolonized Buffalo to nerd out on Tolkien.  We discuss his life and works, his politics, and of course argue irrefutably that The Shire can only be built through authoritarian communism.This is a fun one and I hope you all enjoy it as much as we enjoyed recording it-NickDecolonized Buffalo Links:https://www.instagram.com/decolonized_buffalo/https://twitter.com/decolonizedbphttps://open.spotify.com/show/5HNK0mWbkbxoynVEKwgvVChttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deco…lo/id1530454129Turn Leftist Links: https://linktr.ee/turnleftistSterling: twitter.com/turnleftistpodWard: instagram.com/millennialleftist and twitter.com/wardlawleyJaron: instagram.com/jarondaganCosper: patreon.com/existence_is_innocentMike: instagram.com/turnleftistSpecial Shout to People's Commissar for Production for production work on this oneinstagram.com/pcfproductionpcfproduction1312@gmail.comSources:https://peacerequiresanarchy.wordpress.com/2012/09/21/the-letters-of-jrr-tolkien/https://www.thetolkienforum.com/threads/tolkiens-political-views.23245/https://twitter.com/theoneringnethttps://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Quotes/JRRTolkienhttps://www.tolkiensociety.org/author/biography/The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, etc.Intro MusicConcerning Hobbits, Howard Shore, The Fellowship of the Ring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CL_3mlOPnGIOutro MusicSamwise the Brave, Howard Shore, The Two Towers:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOpsPVthV5I
