I don't think that's exclusively, or even particularly, an Anglo thing, except to the extent that Hobbes was the first person to really state the doctrine cleanly.

Joseph De Maistre and all those sort of throne-and-altar conservatives, for instance, that's a very continental point of view that's just as doom-and-gloom about the powers of unaided human reason and willpower.

On the flipside, the philosophical argument in question can just as rightly be interpreted and implemented by anarchists to their liking. It is such a broad, and ultimately vague concept to suggest mankind has a 'nature', be it benevolent, dark, or generally neutral, that it is easy to bend to the will of widely differing political and sociological agendas.
