Erik Sandval
On the Social Contract's appeal and influence has been wide-ranging and continuous. It has been called an encomium to democracy and, at the same time, a blueprint for totalitarianism. Individualists, collectivists, anarchists, and socialists have all taken courage from Rousseau's controversial masterpiece.

His idea that everybody should belong to everybody else was played out to it’s fullest in a Brave New World by Alexander Huxley. What a horrible idea. Feels like another bedrock of socialism.
One good line, “man is born free and yet everywhere he is in chains” Amen to that brother.
*caveat I did not read the whole book. Maybe like 5 chapters? That was enough for me to understand the thesis, which is pure bullshit. Go read Hobbes and then Locke. Much better source material.
Skip. Read Hobbes and Locke instead.

I do not agree with some of his arguments, but clearly we have hindsight in history he could not foresee.
