Libertarians are firm adherents to the social contract theory though, they hail Locke as their prophet

I mean I believe in it as an ideal for governments to strive for, but a government that's 100% negotiated through social contract isn't possible.

Libertarians that wish for a social contact either don't know what "social contact" or "libertarian" is.
Social contract is acknowledging a partial sacrifice of your rights for a representative government, two things libertarians despise in principle.
Not to mention the Hobbesian social contract with the sovereign

Regardless of how liberal you consider Rousseau to be, his conception of the state was Hobbesian as well.

Just shows you that no matter who you are you have to agree with Hobbes to a certain degree.

What? Social contract theory is an ideal.
If by your pic's use of "social contract" you mean the thought that the price of civilized society is mindless oppression then yeah go ahead and strawman.
Progressive elites call what they're doing a social contract so that people can attach a transcendental value to the removal of transcendental values. A social contract requires politically aware citizens, which the current regime despises because it's not a government, just a corporate gateway

Social contract theory is the basis for law today. It's a necessary fiction.

I don't have "some other way to describe the formation of civilizations from a state of lacking them. That's the way it is."
