Sauron and collectivism

[Bergil]

I may have finally found the (possibly unintended) point to Tolkien's works. All of Tolkien's important villans (Sauron, Melkor, Nazgul, Saruman especially) share one thing, they're all collectivists. For those who don't know, collectivism referrs to the philosophy that a person should be part of a group, rather then a thing of himself. (It is also, to my mind (and I think tolkien agrees), the politically correct way of saying evil, and can be said to encompass any system of government where a person who is (hint:not) "deciding the common good", is unremovable, unchecked, and bad, and people are told that they are only a gear rather then a whole machine untill it becomes true.) My evidence is that I once said that the ultimate goal of collectivists is to turn people mindless, like ants who have no minds save for queens, and Tolkien compares the orcs after Sauron's fall to ants whose queen had been stepped on. Also, people often point to the Scouring's ruffians' comunism (a faecet of collectivism). In brief, I think orcs have been propgandized into being automatons, and helping try to do the same to anyone else. Am I right, wrong, or stupid?
