Welcome to RationalWiki, ThomasHobbes! Would you be interested in helping with the ongoing master plan to destroy RationalWiki as we know it and install a brutish dictatorship - a "Leviathan," you might call it? Blue (pester) 22:10, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

My username is intended to draw attention to what real political philosophers look like, and point out the absurdity of the petty dictatorship that is now apparant. Hobbes desired an absolute monarch because he believed that mankind was fundamentally doomed and likely to rape, murder and plunder. Thankfully the liberals of later centuries proved that it was possible to find a balance between political liberty and personal safety. The social contract evolved; Hobbes was primitive.
