Hobbes envisioned life without a government as uncivilized. He famously described this state as a "war of all against all," where life would be "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." In his view, without a powerful governing authority to impose order and security, human beings would revert to a chaotic existence driven by self-interest and competition.
