Dwarves venerate, not worship their ancestors. And elves named their weapons too, probably more often than men

Where are we starting the commune at? I’m down for this. Return to Shire.

And Elves don’t love jewelry or name weapons?
Hobbits with no class structure?

It appears to be a ideal commune without class structure when you are only showing the heirs of the most powerful class leaders with the only working class hobbit being subservient to the richest.

Only recently I’ve been made aware that most people who haven’t read the books don’t know especially Merry and Pippin are actually pretty big shots.

I recently read this article which, sadly, totally goes against the meme.

That was a fascinating read, thank you for sharing! The fact that Tolkien’s world can be analyzed to this degree and still make sense is absolutely mind boggling to me.

Indeed, an excellent article. My favourite line:

The Thain was the nominal Head of State for the Shire, and had the authority to summon the moot and muster in times of emergency, but this was mostly ceremonial, given the lack of emergencies.
