"... life in the state of nature is "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short." - Thomas Hobbes
Start preparing for the GOP world ahead. Sometimes classics are remarkably timeless, because
human nature and institutional structure do not change, they just repeat.
"In Leviathan, which was written during the English Civil War (16421651), Hobbes argues for a social contract and rule by an absolute sovereign. He wrote that chaos or civil war situations identified with a state of nature and the famous motto Bellum omnium contra omnes ("the war of all against all"
could only be averted by strong central government."
