In Lord of the Rings, orcs were once men but they were transformed by being under Sauron.
The point was that any one of us could be transformed into something inhumane, if we ended up in an inhumane system. It was an allegory of the Soviet Union.

In Lord of the Rings, orcs were once men According the Silmarillion, they were once elves, captured, tortured, and corrupted by Melkor, which makes their corruption even greater.

I believe it was written that orcs were once Elves. Corrupted, enslaved and tortured by Morgoth.
