Cromwell ve Hobbes arasındaki karanlık ilişki, "devletin matematiği" ve "mutlak otorite" ihtiyacının en kanlı laboratuvarıdır.
Cromwell Kral I. Charles'ın kafasını kesti (1649). Ancak o tek bir kafa, Avrupa’daki tüm "Tanrısal meşruiyet" zincirini kırdı.
İşte Hobbes’un bu dehşet ortamında neden "Leviathan" gibi devasa bir ejderha (devlet) kurguladığını konuşalım.
Hobbes, Cromwell dönemindeki iç savaşı ve o kafa kesme sahnesini gördüğünde dehşete kapıldı. Onun için en kötü şey, otoritesizlik (anarşi) idi. İnsan insanın kurdudur (Homo homini lupus). Hobbes’a göre, eğer tepede mutlak, korkutucu ve tartışılmaz bir güç (Leviathan) olmazsa, insanlar birbirini yok ederdi. "Askeri bürokrasiyi konsolide etme" fikri, Hobbes’ta "tüm yetkiyi tek bir canavarda (devlette) toplama" fikrine dönüştü.
Hobbes, Osmanlı'da ki "Allah'ın dünyadaki gölgesi" dediğimiz Halife/Padişah modelinin seküler ve çok daha sert bir versiyonunu kurguladı.
Leviathan, gücünü Tanrı'dan değil, insanların "ölmemek için" devlete devrettiği haklardan alır. Bu eser, "faşist tabanlı" olarak nitelediğimiz o mutlakiyetçi yapının ilk felsefi manifestosudur. Çünkü Hobbes’a göre, devletin başındaki kişi (veya meclis) haksızlık yapsa bile ona başkaldırılamaz; çünkü başkaldırı iç savaşa, iç savaş ise ölüme (kaosa) götürür.
Hobbes, Behemoth eserinde ise bu "kafa kesme" sürecine neden olan İngiliz İç Savaşı'nı analiz eder. Hobbes burada suçluyu bulur. Farklı dini yorumlar (Püritenler), bağımsızlık isteyen yerel güçler ve tartışmaya açılan kraliyet otoritesi. Osmanlı'daki "mezhep ayrılıkları ve yerel güç odakları (Kavalalı vb.)" analizimizle Hobbes’un Behemoth’taki uyarıları şaşırtıcı derecede örtüşür. Hobbes der ki; eğer fikir birliği (ideolojik homojenlik) yoksa, devlet parçalanmaya mahkumdur.

Suzanne
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half-crazy but that's why you wanna to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer that you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
And then you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
And Jesus was a sailor when He walked upon the water
And He spent a long time watching from His lonely wooden tower
And when He knew for certain only drowning men could see Him
He said all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them
But He himself was broken, long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human, He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with Him, and you want to travel blind
And then you think maybe you'll trust Him
For He's touched your perfect body with His mind
Now, Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river
She's wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey on our Lady of the harbor
And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
It seems that Trump hit the nail on the head this time. The Iranian army managed to expand and prolong the war. Iran's heavy bombing of the Gulf, in particular, had a serious impact on the course of events.
The Trump administration was wrong on three counts: the assassination of political and military leaders did not create a power vacuum for regime change in Tehran; a large-scale popular uprising did not begin; and there is no short-term solution to the processes in Iran.
Most likely, the Trump administration planned that an agreement would be reached with the new leadership immediately after Khamenei's assassination and the war would end. But events are developing in a different direction. In his speech last night, Trump called on the "Separah" to lay down its arms. This also shows that the strings in Iran are in the hands of the military, not the political leadership. It is believed that although Khamenei formally transferred power to individuals whose names are publicly known before his death, de facto military-political governance was transferred to a military council formed from the "Separah".
I have no doubt that the US and Israel want to bring the condition of “complete elimination of the IRGC” to the negotiating table with the new Iranian government. In other words, the process is also a matter of existence for the IRGC, and in this regard, the military is expected to resist to the end.
There are two options for the Trump administration. First, it must choose the path of reducing tensions in order to stop the war. In this case, the US and Israel will not achieve their main goals: there will be no regime change in Tehran; most importantly, 400 kg of enriched uranium will remain in the hands of the IRGC.
The second option for Trump is to raise his hand and
