What those quotes of your have to do with Anarchism is beyond me...
Now if you want to mention John Ball...
"Good People, things will never be well in England as long as good are not held in common. And so long as there are villeins and gentlemen. Why do they hold us in serfage? They go clothed in velvet and warm in their furs and their ermines while we are clothed in rags. They have wine and spices and fine bread; and we have oat cake and straw and water to drink. They have leisure and fine houses; and we have pain and labor; the rain and wind in the fields."
Of course he was hanged, drawn and quartered...
But it seems to me that he is more relevant than Locke and Hobbes.
