Default Re: Best quick argument against the \"social contract\" canard

Thats exactly what you should be doing. The social contract isnt something that exists, its an imaginary construct that is backed up by the legitimacy of democracy. You should then ask them about the effectiveness of democracy. How egalitarian can the social contract be when democracy is just a way for people with money to control the people who make the laws in this country?
