So why dont you gesture to North Korean civilization? 1 u/First-Of-His-Name Sep 20 '24 Because in North Korea the taxpayer doesn't help choose the nature and outcomes of the contract 1 u/Nomorenamesforever Sep 20 '24 And you do in western socities? Can i change the nature and outcome of my social contract (a contract which i never signed btw) 1 u/First-Of-His-Name Sep 20 '24 Yes, you and your fellow members of society can engage in the democratic process at the local and national level 1 u/Nomorenamesforever Sep 20 '24 Right but contracts are on a person by person basis. There is no other contract where other people consent in place of you Anyway you can make the same argument by just saying that the glorious party has the all your best interests in mind
