Hobbes-reading

Hello Stefan, I am just a bit confused because some of Hobbes statements seem very extreme. So did I get him right? Hobbes strongly advocates to put all powers like executive, judicative, legislative in only one hand to ensure that the sovereignty is really strong enough to protect the individuals from eachother and from the attack of other countries. Even the control of the minds should be put in the hands of the souveranity. (So explicitly no seperation of powers and no freedom of speach) So Hobbes categorically refuses to put any restrictions on the souvereignty (or Leviathan), because nothing is worse than a Leviathan who cannot enforce property rights, because than society would drop back to Anarchy. And in Hobbes' opinion a very very cruel Leviathan is still better than a drop back to Anarchy. Thanks
