092: They're Taking the Hobbits to Stalingrad! Talking Tolkien from the Left

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 -Nick Decolonized Buffalo Links: https://www.instagram.com/decolonized_buffalo/ https://twitter.com/decolonizedbp https://open.spotify.com/show/5HNK0mWbkbxoynVEKwgvVC https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deco…lo/id1530454129 Turn Leftist Links: https://linktr.ee/turnleftist Sterling: twitter.com/turnleftistpod Ward: instagram.com/millennialleftist and twitter.com/wardlawley Jaron: instagram.com/jarondagan Cosper: patreon.com/existence_is_innocent Mike: instagram.com/turnleftist Special Shout to People's Commissar for Production for production work on this one instagram.com/pcfproduction pcfproduction1312@gmail.com Sources: https://peacerequiresanarchy.wordpress.com/2012/09/21/the-letters-of-jrr-tolkien/ https://www.thetolkienforum.com/threads/tolkiens-political-views.23245/ https://twitter.com/theoneringnet https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Quotes/JRRTolkien https://www.tolkiensociety.org/author/biography/ The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, etc. Intro Music Concerning Hobbits, Howard Shore, The Fellowship of the Ring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CL_3mlOPnGI Outro Music Samwise the Brave, Howard Shore, The Two Towers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOpsPVthV5I
