That kind of highlights the stupidity of it all. A "social contract" without a government to enforce it is worthless. "On your honor" in business is never going to work; way too many folks without a moral compass in society.
I believe the idea is that any community can form a social contract amongst itself regardless of the size.
In reality, at the moment a government had authority over those under it.
So perhaps this idea of social contracts reveal both the aim (destroying of society, hype and illusion to create communities) and the weakness (government, monopoly of violence, status quo)
