Do you ask only for anarchist, and not Marxist, sources because you presume that marxists accept contract theory? Fwiw, Kautsky criticised it in this article; https://libcom.org/library/state-socialism-karl-kautsky

so i've gotten pretty into reading about social contract theory, as it questions the legitimacy of the state and its power
of course it also attempts to answer the very question it asks, so it's of course statist (the us declaration of independence being a prime example of a work heavily influenced by social contract theory proposed by john locke)
so my question is, are there any anarchist works that discuss social contract theory as a topic? i've of course been looking for what i can find through a google search, and came across goldman's new declaration of independence, and while it's great in that it draws from the us declaration and comes to the conclusion that people have the right to rebel against their government, it's a short piece meant for a newspaper and therefore does not go into great detail, as say arguments by hobbes or locke
i don't expect much, but i was wondering if anybody had any recommended resources?

my apologies! i didn't mean to be exclusive, but i blame my haste in writing.
i asked for anarchist resources merely out of familiarity, but I would not reject a list of resources from other schools of thought as well. any radical or otherwise revolutionary resources would be greatly appreciated
