Regarding this very longstanding nonsense re Locke, etc., see especially Clark, English Society 1688-1832, Index, Locke. The Whig interpretation placed on Locke by American pundits like Brooks, and going all the way back to founding fathers' interpretations in the mid 18th Century, needs to be examined in light of British history during the 17th and 18th Centuries. See especially Clark's discussion at the bottom of p 57 and 58, and Locke's contradiction, p 62.
Re Rousseau, there are many possible references, always bearing in mind that Locke and Rousseau are both, nevertheless, so called Enlightenment figures.
One would think that there would be a corresponding renaissance (of ignorance) on the Left, and so I suspect there is.
Our right, and left, are each emanations of Enlightenment confusions.
Individualism and globalism feed off of each other, at least in the West, are two sides in some ways of the one coin seldom acknowledged.
Terms search: Rousseau
