Rawls was and is the cuck of political philosophy.
This is 4chan so it will be mostly Lockeans
Hobbes made more solid foundational points about societal roles, like a European Confucius, and the results are much less of a mixed bag than Locke's focus on property rights for "me me me me me me" which is selfish but understandable

thank you family. I love seeing people who don't always engage in a Rawls circle jerk view of political philosophy
>>7599675
Rousseau

Hobbes was a bit of a poseur, so, by process of elimination, I'll go with Locke
Both views are wrong but Hobbes was the better of the two.
The State didn't come out of necessity or out of a social contract; it came by force and through armies bought by capital accumulation.

Not Locke. He made up a very convenient argument that natives didn't have any real rights, so it was ok to land grab.

Locke
If you want a more obscure social contractualist, to wow the ladys, you can't get wrong with Pfuffendorf.

fuck off
Hobbes is the superior thinker even tho I disapprove of the degree of scientific rationalism present in his thought. His premises are fairly unobjectionable and he introduces a very subtle system. I like to read him along Oakeshottian lines even tho I don't necessarily think it's the best way to understand what Hobbes himself believed.
I'm sympathetic to Locke's conclusions but, like Nozick, once scrutinised he is left with a gaping hole where a serious theory of original appropriation should be. I think the theory of property is where the ultimately arbitrary nature of all political positions is most clearly exposed on both sides - it comes down to bare assertion when you dig deeply enough.
I remember 11th grade history
The answer is obviouslyLenin
I share Hobbes' cynicism, so probably him.
Scrap them both and go back to Grotius.
