Yes, but....what about The Lord of the Rings?

For my money, I'm going to be bold and say that the book is not such an allegory. The giveaway sign is in the names of the villains, Sauron and Saruman. If it was all about fighting communism then they would be called Commosticus and perhaps Marxavious.

Which makes me wonder......Saur, Sar.....what's it all about.....

Does HoME mention the significance of the names?
