I sure hope not. The portrayal of the Hobbit society is probably one of the worst parts of LoTR as it basically just paints a rosy picture of 19th century small town England.
Good article on this: http://johnmolyneux.blogspot.com/2011/09/tolkiens-world-marxist-analysis.html

Thanks, i’ll check it out!
Is it tho ? I mean, I don’t remember that the political and economical structure of the Hobbit’s are explained in the books nor movies. They could very well be a monarchy for all I know :thinking face:
Very true. I’ll admit, i haven’t watched LOTR in like 10 years. But i seem to remember that they had very little monarchical structure to their society.
They do just stick to themselves while fire is all around them
