Okay.

You noticed? Good job.

Is there some discussion you wanted to start?

they're literally called a "merchant race" too

What are you taking about? The whole motivation for the hobbit was because they were jews.

They're more Early American Capitalists.

Not the biggest jews of the setting, but they're a really close second without being pigeon-holed into the archetype.

I don't remember who was jews in Arcanum dwarves or gnomes?

Dwarves are greedy little fuckers in pretty much everything that isn't descended from Tolkien.
>>
>>44729642
Who was raised Christian and was openly antisemtitic... your point?
>>
>>44729660
But Jews is Lawful. You can't run schemes of such complexity as "introduce the concept of currency, wait five thousand years while manipulating things, and eventually wind up controlling everyone through it" on Chaotic.
>>
>>44729695
>implying Marx isn't the Drizzt of Jewry

I don't get this.
If you're implying
>greedy
That comes from old lore that Tolkien incorporated in his earlier Middle-earth stories, but is not a primary Dwarf characterics in the Hobbit, not in a serious sense (except for the Arkenstone, but that's just the gem warping the minds).
If you're implying
>merchants
Again they do not have that as a primary trait. They exchange goods because they're crafty but don't have developed economies anymore, but as a race they'd be more for accumulating riches (making it so their realms start exchanging with the others a lot more) than creating a proto-capitalist economy.

He hated Jews you fucking knuckle dragging faggot. He was raised and baptised in the Christian faith even though he was Jewish by descendancy. Fuck off to /pol/. Also, Friedrich Engels, son of a protestant evangelical, was fundamental in writing the Communist's Manifesto as evidenced by him... you know... being CO-AUTHOR?
>>
>>44729746
that's what I was fucking implying anyway, you dumb shit.
>>
>>44729761
Really? Cause it sounded an awful like typical retarded /pol/ tripe. You should probably fuck off back to there
>>
>>44729737

Not sure what OP is getting at, but Tolkien did openly acknowledge that the Dwarves are based in part on (what we think of as European stereotypes of Jews. The beards, the mistrust of outsiders, the grudges, the guttural language, being a people banished from their ancestral homeland and forced to wander the world as merchants and craftsmen, etc.

It's all there if you want to do some entry-level googling.
