    Chapter 6: 53

    Equality
    Locke outlines an equality in abstract or formal rights
    Liberalism
    Locke is classically speaking a liberal
    Declaration of independence is a liberal document
    Business owners can refuse to serve gay people
    2 different equalities (or inequalities)
    Chapter 3: 19
    State of nature: no force, state of war: force

    Second treatise as a unified take on politics


    How do we read/think about this
    Cannot apply our rules of logic
    Locke is being performative
    Convincing you that what he thinks makes sense
    Paragraph 34: God gave earth to industrious and rational not
    quarrelsome and contentious
    I dont want the industrious and rational to own the earth
    Property
    Chapter 5: 27
    Earth is common but labor provides someone a private right to something
    Equal rights to property but not equality in terms of property
    One of the earliest theorists to talk about labor as positive and valuable
    Marx: Aristotle couldnt understand labor because he lived in a slave society
    Slaves did labor, humans did not
    in the beginning no one had property rights
    the habits and behaviors of hunter gatherers dont count as property rights
    Locke takes a commercial-capitalist view of land
    Post hunter gatherer
    Locke would say that materially, the poor day-laborer in England is richer than the Native
    American King
    Emphasis for material well-being
    We cant solve religious wars by finding the best religion
    Some tolerance for religion (just not catholics and jews)
    But we need more emphasis on materialism and life/liberty/estate!!!!
    Locke is trying to depoliticize issues
    Or lessen the politicization of society
    Wants protestants to stop fighting
    Locke is concerned w threats to life/liberty/estate rather than threats to property
    People in America dont pay attention to politics except every 4 years
    Political debate isnt prevalent for most of the 20/21 st century
    This and parties creates stability
    THIS IS DISSAPEARING
    Tries to justify private property without relying on consent of others
    This is very individualistic
    You gain property by laboring on it
    Got to leave enough and as good land for others
    No spoilage
    Money
    Removes spoilage limitation
    Does enough and as good limitation disappear?
