Replying to Avatar Leo Fernevak

If I consider his rather strong position against slavery and his controversial defense against exploitation, via his term 'state of war' against oppressors, then I find it hard to believe that he would want to dispossess people. It seems that such a task would be more fitting for the philosophers of his time that he criticized.

Maybe he didn't intend for his words to be used in such a way, but I believe the interpretation of his work was used as such.

Thank you.

I decided to go over my book markings and wrote a short overview of how I interpret Locke's position:
