In Leviathan, Thomas Hobbes lists three types of common wealth: aristocracy, democracy and monarchy. The Commonwealth is a political community, with a sovereign as its soul to administer contentious and non-contentious affairs, such as faith. This definition mysteriously implies a theocratic organization, whereby religious theology takes precedence over civil law. In this system, God is determined as the ruler of the state, the clergy are the administrators of divine commands and serve as the proxy of the invisible ruler. This is found within Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's Velayat-e-Faqih, a government governed by a jurist. This essay examines the ideal of commonwealth advocated by Hobbes in Leviathan and by Khomeini in Velayat-e-Faqih. To do this, it uses Comparative Political Thinking (CPT) to refer to the spatio-temporal essence that cultivated the above works. In doing so, this essay illustrates the similarities between Khomeini's and Hobbes's arguments for an authoritarian ruler. While both Khomeini and Hobbes assert that centralization of authority promotes morality and avoids the state of nature, this essay argues that both texts support the thesis of a theocracy as a necessary state to safeguard against moral decay.

This essay uses their “place of origin” to assert theocracy as the fourth Commonwealth. This means examining Hobbes's Leviathan in the context of the English Civil War and comparing it to Khomeini's Velayat-e-Faqih in the context of the Pahlavi regime. Second, this essay will compare Hobbes' State of Nature with Khomeini's rejection of Westernization. Third, it will examine Hobbes's justification for the monarchy as an ideal community with Khomeini's rule by the jurist. Finally, this essay will argue that Hobbes' ontology of morality is the sine qua non for the establishment of a theocracy. The justification of a theocracy as a fourth Commonwealth comes as a logical consequence of Hobbes's Leviathan through comparison with Khomeini's justification of the Velayat-e-Faqih. This essay claims that a theocracy is the Hobbesian ideal type of commonwealth. First, by comparing the spatio-temporal nature of both works, this essay argues that theocracy as commonwealth is axiomatic in the origin of Leviathan. Born during the Spanish Armada, Thomas Hobbes observed political disintegration throughout his life, to the point that fear became a subconscious, latent element in his writings. This is especially evident in Leviathan where he writes that he was "caused by the disorders of the present time." Leviathan was written during the 17th century English Civil War, which included the overthrow of King Charles I by the Parliamentarians and great sectarian violence. Hobbes feared persecution in England as a royalist and chose exile in Paris. The purpose of Leviathan was to outline solutions to prevent factionalism, violence, and disorder that arise from the absence of centralized authority. Likewise, Khomeini experienced exile from his homeland of Iran, having been arrested for his opposition to the 1963 White Revolution by the Pahlavi regime.
