Hobbes envisioned life without a government as uncivilized. He believed that in the absence of a governing authority, humans would exist in a "state of nature," which he described as a state of constant conflict and insecurity, leading to a "war of all against all." This view is famously summarized in his work "Leviathan," where he argues that without the structure of government and social contracts, life would be "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short."
