    China Mieville had a book that deals with this. In the fantasy world he made the only thing that really gives the vampires power in a society with humans is the fear and myths around them. Outside of that the dependency on blood, inability to go out in the day, and the fact there had to be hard rules on creating new vampires because of the resulting power struggles made them really weak as a collective. iirc if the vampire population ever grew to the numbers it would need to create industry they wouldn't be able to feed enough to stay strong and sane, so uncontrolled vampire growth just leads to something like skid row.


  • This ties into why I can't really get mad at anarchist and really didn't like the pod's take on the statue thing. The dems really build up this strong deference to power in their base and a big part of getting people to be any sort of leftist is breaking that down and getting past the fears of being ostracized. If you can't look a cop in the face and say no, or take down public property when the mayor tells you not to, you are not going to be hardened enough to do any of the militant labor practices people talk about. You are not going to know or trust any of the people around you.
