Default Hobbes vs. Locke

So I made this thread to provoke debate between the 2 founders of the concept of government. If you have no idea who they are of what this is here's a bit to talk about:
Thomas Hobbes was the first man to devise a process of governmental affairs. He belived that since man could not control his self-indulgence, he was likely to provoke 'war'. His perception of war could've been a simple argument between two people. This is why he thought that man needed a superior, whether it was one man, or an assembly of people, to judge and consider what would be best for the nation.
A number of years later, a man named John Locke challenged this way of thinking. He belived that man's right extended as far as not violating any other man's.

I am a Lockean, a supporter of Locke, but I would like to hear out what's your stand in this. Now everyone, whether apathetic or not, is either a Lockean (Locke supporter), or a Hobbesean (Hobbes supporter). Discuss.
