anyone here a tolkien fan? believe it or not I read more tolkien than marx. Magic in tolkien is different from other fantasy, it's just an expression of a character's natural power, not really a spell. A character just speaks his or her will, and if he or she is powerful enough it happens. I felt a lot of scenes in Tolkien like this were good analogies for politics. so I tried to explain that idea in another essay! https://mebassett.info/to...
