Rousseau was the most based social contract theorist, and the best writer out of the lot.

That would probably be Montesquieu even if Rousseau is more pleasant to read.
The reason he is appears so based is probably because he is one of the protogenitors of the spooks that possess you currently

That was only on his educational philosophy, the social contract was his true masterwork, then discourse on inequality.

Stirner may have not believed in a state, but I think some of his critiques became a bit silly. For example, saying that even if he made the law he shouldn't be obligated to follow it because he could change his mind, nevermind the fact that if he made the law in the first place he could just change it after he changed his mind.
I also happen to believe that ideas of rights, justice and legitimacy, short of being value judgments, are useful tools for me to evaluate myself and my own compared to the power of other's wills.
