RE: Three topics big deal to libertarians

in #libertarianism6 years ago

The most obnoxious social contract apologists love to treat it like a binding contract when you violate whatever terms they believe it contains, and then insist you're being too literal when you make an argument based on the nature of valid contracts.

"In regard to the so-called social contract, I have often had occasion to protest that I haven't even seen the contract, much less been asked to consent to it. A valid contract requires voluntary offer, acceptance, and consideration. I've never received an offer from my rulers, so I certainly have not accepted one; and rather than consideration, I have received nothing but contempt from the rulers, who, notwithstanding the absence of any agreement, have indubitably threatened me with grave harm in the event that I fail to comply with their edicts."― Robert Higgs
