Journalists tell you Locke was an influential philosopher, but wet streets cause rain. In fact, the ideas were influential therefore Locke tried to take credit for them. Politician, not philosopher. The payload was lies. Like the Bible, if any part was correct, it was only as a means of building credibility for the lies.
"But America's liberalism didn't start in 1787:
1637 Voluntary participation & Popular Sovereignty (Providence Agreement)
1641 Bill of Rights, secular covenant (Massachusetts Body of Liberty)
1642 Federalised Government (Rhode Island)
In 1641 Locke was only 9 years old. 4/8"

Basically the same as Keynes. Keynes wrote down what the government wanted to do anyway. The tyrannous plan came first; the [[intellectual]], second.
Locke was staunchly opposed to property rights, just like Keynes. He was merely more subtle about it.
