Violence and lawlessness are not the natural state.
The majority of human societies live in peace. Uncontacted tribes never before exposed to us generally mostly live in peace together. They don't have the word "law" but they have an agreed upon set of social norms that people don't violate. Even most primates live in mostly peaceful social groups with established social norms.
Hobbes erred in his assessment of the natural state of humans.
