Considered the "father of classical liberalism," John Locke established the core values ​​of classical liberalism, which included liberty, individualism, protection of natural rights, consensus, and constitutionalism. Classical liberalism that developed in the United States focused on a “minimal state” in terms of governmental restrictions, while John Locke focused his attention on the social and political means of the individual. Generally, egalitarianism is defined as “a belief in human equality in terms of social, political, and economic affairs.” By this standard, John Locke cannot be labeled as egalitarian in all terms since he does not believe in the equality of people in all aspects. John Locke's form of classical liberalism can best be classified as egalitarian due to its emphasis on the idea of ​​a clean slate, equality of opportunity, and natural rights. John Locke believed that everyone is born with a clean slate, meaning that no one is born with innate talent. qualities and knowledge are acquired through sensation and reflection. In An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, Locke states that the mind is “… blank paper, devoid of all characters, without any idea” (Locke 674). People absorb external information and process it in their minds, which is reflected in their actions. Locke believed that the blank slate that men are born with would soon develop through their intrinsic faculties (things done unconsciously like breathing and understanding) (Locke 678-679). Since the main focus of egalitarianism is on the basis of equality, Locke's proposal for the tabula rasa coincides with equality because it states that all people are born equal. There is no person who is born with innate qualities that enable him to have a better chance of being in favor... of the medium of paper... of liberalism, which is a doctrine for industrious individuals. Colonialism corresponds to its limitation to deterioration, which validates Locke's classical liberalism. Furthermore, by excluding women, Locke acts only as a subject of his time. Just as Althusser stated, the ideology of the time “acclaimed” him to become a concrete subject. John Locke believes that people are equal in protection and at birth, but he firmly believes that men achieve their own success. His classical liberalism supports egalitarianism, but not in all positions. Men are born equal and will always have the same natural rights which will be protected, but in terms of the outcomes of their opportunities it will be up to them to control.
