Thomas Hobbes, a 17th century British man who
believed in absolute monarchy, stated that the lives of the working class were "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short."

Hobbes wrote that man living in the 'state of nature', that is, with out laws and a ruler to enforce them, was condemned to a life which was "solitary, poor...." His argument was one in favour of an absolute ruler. Hobbes was not a democrat.
