If you look at Shire, you will see bucolic agrarian utopia… only if you look a second time you will see that Bilbo and Frodo are literal kulaks, never working a day in their life, just exploiting people like Sam Gamgee (who was also kind of a house slave and class traitor), a lot of it is ran by kulak families like Tooks and Brandybucks. We never see the point of view of average hobbit, the one that works so mister Baggins, Took, Brandybuck can enjoy their parasite lifes.
And so the story indeed is that three kulak failsons and class traitor went on adventurism to put the tsar king over themselves. Just like the compradors of 3rd world countries do vassalise their states to the US empire (though by the time the story was written it was still mostly British empire).
