That we should wish to cast him down and have no one in his place is not a thought that occurs to his mind. That we should try to destroy the Ring itself has not yet entered into his darkest dream.
Just as the statist cannot imagine a world without government, it hasn't even crossed Sauron's mind that his enemies don't simply seek an end to him, but an end to his entire institution.
Very insightful.
Yes, statists, be afraid.
We will destroy the Ring.
We will let seven billion nations bloom.
That is what we seek.
