Thomas Hobbes:
In the battle of liberty, equality, and fraternity vs order, security, and efficiency, I think the winner is clear. People are born evil and selfish and if we give them freedom and rights that they want, which they do not deserve, they will only take it and do more evil and selfish things. We need order and security because if there is none being instilled in the people, there will only be chaos. The perfect government is a monarchy, and that is the only kind of government where there is absolute power, and people are under absolute control. This means no chaos! If we were under no one's control, and everyone was equal, we would all run around and do whatever we want. This could involve cheating, stealing, lying, and even murder. I mean, we are evil after all. People that want liberty, equality, and fraternity only want it so they can protect themselves, or worse. Rise to power. Not gonna' happen. No women, no man, no human alive should be able to be completely liberated, or else they are a danger to all of humanity. By having order, security, and efficiency in a country and government, humans true nature will be controlled just enough to make a successful nation. And isn't that all that we really want?
