TIL there's a reinterpreted history of Lord of the Rings which reveals that Mordor actually has educated people (not Orcs) that are oppressed by magical creatures like the Elves and Gandalf (en.wikipedia.org)

It interprets Tolkien's text as if it was written from the point of view of the victors (which happen to be the Elves, Gandalf, and Aragorn).

This explanation from the alternative version's author is great!
