Over at the Notion Club Papers blog, I have discussed an interesting essay from the Tree of Woe website, in which the author draws analogies, and inspiration, from the example of Elendil in rebuilding Arnor and Gondor from the remains of Numenor.
If you want to comment (but not anonymously!) - it is probably better to leave socio-political comments here, and Tolkien-related comments over at the Notion Club Papers.
