Who was right?

None. Governance is distraction from truth and government being the imbuance of truth particularly through the masses is a clear issue which we don't afford as a measure for anything except it and economics.

Rousseau was right about the state of nature.
Locke was right about the function of government.
Hobbes was right about everything else.

Based. Found myself agreeing mostly with Hobbes but he was too pessimistic. Rousseau was naive but had some worthwhile ideas.

Hobbes, obviously; though he was wrong about all men being equal. If a literal retard can have me killed by gaining sympathy from a group of other people, he is not my equal - though this is the logiv that Hobbes uses.

>>16035418
hobbes's definition of equality has nothing to do with status or worth. he simply meant that in the state of nature everyone is equally capable of killing anyone else. this equality implies that the strongest man is not strong enough to be be fearless, and the weakest man is not weak enough to be unable to compete. it's a free-for-all where everybody has a chance to gain something at the cost of someone else.

it was locke that introduced the definition of equality that we commonly hold today, since locke's ideas were so influential in building the liberal democracies we live in presently.
