| Vick, while deadly in his view... If it is indeed a sentient choice and not just a case of madness... Is deadly in the sense of a bomb: It's chances of making long term, far reaching impact is virtually nil, but it's short term, instant damage is shocking and destructive. People who aren't smart enough/capable of fear are VERY short term citizens... But they do tend to go out in a bloody and explosive way.
For my money, there is no real risk presented in any form by Anarchs... In game or out... To any kind of society, as ultimately it's a self defeating concept. The only way the bring down an organized power is with good, hard work and organization, intelligent design, clear thinking and action that focuses on set goals... All of which are the antithesis of an Anarch cause and which, as you said, only ends up with the people who organized the groups becoming leaders... Exactly the thing they stood against. Mind you, I imagine that once they are leaders, they will roll their eyes in disgust as a new age of "Rebels" makes an effort to undermine the laws they put in place.
Out of interest, and to keep things on the topic of Vampire a little more, the book that details the efforts of Elder Vampires (Elyisum) starts off with a letter from one Elder to another, talking about how hard they worked to make Vampire society stable and fair, equal and just... And how the young vampires of today are doing everything they can to ruin it all. The letter goes on to say something along the lines of:
"They spend their unlife marching in the street, declare that I while away my hours doing everything I can to make an enemy of them, that my only love is to crush them, oppress them and quell them, and that in my old age I have become a bitter hater of their freedom. They say that my last true emotion is a twisted joy in seeing them driven under heel and making slaves of them.
Wouldn't it shock them to know they are right?"
