I think Tolkien wrote that's what he was implying with the rings. The whole story was a metaphor for him and his friends going to world War 1, the wizards being the kikes, the orcs being the Germans and him and his friend were the hobbit. The men were the European politicians.

I think he actually denied it had anything to do with either world war
>The Ring of Gyges /ˈdʒaɪˌdʒiːz/ (Ancient Greek: Γύγου Δακτύλιος, Gúgou Daktúlios, Attic Greek pronunciation: [ˈɡyːˌɡoː dakˈtylios]) is a hypothetical magic ring mentioned by the philosopher Plato in Book 2 of his Republic (2:359a–2:360d).[1] It grants its owner the power to become invisible at will. Using the ring as an example, this section of the Republic considers whether a rational, intelligent person who has no need to fear negative consequences for committing an injustice would nevertheless act justly.
