Hobbes View

Going off Shannon's thoughts i think to make "Commonwealth" work among a society with the rules that Hobbes has set out must be changed for the sake of Hobbes reasonings. Can Hobbes truly make his six viewpoints as an ideal state work? Which are, reason, manipulation (speech/voice), ease/no fear/ free will, and covenant. As Hobbes states of making a will "unto one will" meaning gathering the communities vocies and pleasures making a consentment and having to abid by one leader. Suggesting the community to not go against their will even though we all conflict from viewpoints and point out others flaws and imperfections thinking we can be better? Hobbes also conteracts himself with his paragraph about the soverign power. He states as men come together by natural force and dont agree with the will power among the state that they have their life on the line. Gather all of Hobbes ideas togther this soluion does not work. In natural society even with rules people out power authority making it hard for a particular man in the common wealth to agree with every one peace and common defense. Making of this that Hobbes solution to the problem of social turmoil incorrect.
