Castrration, the Post-Liberal Right, and the Liberal Left

I've been trying to suss out (for myself) some of the theoretical orientations that thinkers from the current liberal left and (post-liberal) right are making use of in their thinking.

One of the thinkers who appears to offer a theory of the State that many post-liberal right-wing thinkers seem to be drawing upon is Thomas Hobbes.

Here is something from the Wikipedia article on Hobbes:

Hobbes compared the State to a monster (leviathan) composed of men, created under pressure of human needs and dissolved by civil strife due to human passions.

Hobbes views the State and its powers as manifest in the power of a monarch or sovereign.

Redescribing this from my Lacanian perspective, I'd say that the state/sovereign power is a semblance (a combination of imaginary and symbolic elements) that is created as a response to the real.

I'm not sure if I'm correct, but it seems to me that post-liberal thinkers who advocate for a kind of Hobbesian Leviathan state/sovereign power view the sovereign as a kind of uncastrated father figure, an exception to castration. Or, to put it another way, they see the State (i.e., the head of State) as a version of Freud's Primal Father from Totem and Taboo (1912–1913). The Primal Father is the Father who forbids the sons from experiencing jouissance by keeping all those experiences for himself.

If this is correct, I'd say these thinkers are idealizing the figure of the state/sovereign as someone who has the phallus. I also think they are identifying with this figure, believing that if they do so, the state/sovereign will extend its power of protection over them... and that doing this will allow them to enjoy being castrated less than they would be had they not submitted to this entity that has the phallus and can thus act in a non-castrated way.

On the liberal left, I think the reaction is more to embrace the idea of castration and trying to force others, all the way up to heads of state/sovereign powers, to (1) accept castration and (2) demonstrate their acceptance.

As I write this out, I realize how messy and unformed these ideas are. I'm still thinking through all this and trying to piece together an understanding of what might be happening in the political realm today.
