The Social Contract and Modern Slavery

Share:

The modern state and its intervention in our life is permanently justified by socialists through the presence of a social contract that legitimizes the institutionalized agression used by the state in order to force us into being “more inclusive” and “more participative” when and where it wants. The social contract comes into direct conflict with the natural rights which were discovered by the human reasoning, even from the first moment of its existence, as absolutelly necessary in the process of cooperation with the other members of society. Some supporters of the social contract threw away these natural rights and concluded that, when signing the social contract, the individuals must decide and reach a consensus on what rights are considered to be natural and what rights are not. But this is the very problem of natural rights: they don’t need any consensus. The social contract is seen as having virtues that it doesn’t have. It is a contract against human nature that cannot be invoked in order to justify what the state imposes upon us every day. It is a contract that legitimizes our slavery to some structures/institutions which are corrupted and corruptible regardless of the place and space.
