I’m torn. Both Galadriel and Sauron say the other is a threat to Middle-earth. One has to be wrong, so whom am I to trust? Should I trust the Dark Lord who attempted to topple the White City of Gondor, dominate all life, and attempt to stay in power for eternity? Or do I trust the Elf Queen representing the coalition of Men and Elves who defeated Sauron when he tried to enslave the Free Peoples… but could maybe do more meet-and-greets?

I was under impression that Sauron was for order through subjugation, not chaos.

But in any case that would just make the allegory more fitting.

I don't know that Sauron had an ideology per se, more just power for the sake of power. Which allegorically is pretty spot on I think.
