The views of Hobbes have been written in support of the capitalists

The views of Hobbes, the exponent of social agreement, are individualistic. The one who gave all of the atoms to the person, that is, the ideas of Halas are based on physics, geometry and psychology.

Hobbes wrote in his book Leviathan that all power should rest with the king.Due to which his thoughts are seen as supporters of dictatorship and autocracy.

Commenting on the views of Hobbes, McPherson said that the views of Hobbes are possessive individualists. Because Hobbes has talked about giving all the powers in the hands of one person.

McPherson said that Hobbes's ideas are influenced by markets and he is also a supporter of markets. 

Because he talks about protecting the interests of the capitalists. If the state is powerful then it must be a supporter of capitalism.

McPherson writes in his famous work "The Political Theory of Passive individualism" that Hayes is a supporter of the powerful state and the sovereign state.

According to Hobbes, only a powerful and despotic state can provide security to individuals, in the absence of a sovereign state, the property of individuals as well as self-preservation will be in danger.

The natural state of Hobbes is a supporter of capitalism, that is, the natural state is a supporter of capitalism, which considers the consent of individuals as their village and dictatorial government. 

It is clear from the above discussion that was a supporter of capitalism but he also had unwavering faith in individualism. On this basis, Hobbes is called the creator of the philosophical basis of liberalism.

I have still not come across somebody with a score more than this and hence a comfortable claim can be made that this is one of the highest score this year. In this blog, I would mention what helped me achieve this score.  I DID NOT refer to any other source than Shubhra Ma'am's notes.
