If you are looking for Locke’s opposite, you may be looking for Thomas Hobbes.

Thomas Hobbes was an English philosopher from Malmesbury. He became famous when his book, “Leviathan,” created the foundation of the political philosophy from the West.
Hobbes was the champion of absolutism for the sovereign.

I don’t know how I forgot about Hobbes. He’s the obvious answer.
