I remember getting into an interesting conversation with a friend about True Blood in how any vampire/human who genuinely wants to make the world suitable for coexistence would recognize capitalism and class society as major obstacles to it. Especially when you factor in just how much having immortal consumers/producers who can accumulate a literal treasure hoard of wealth over their unlife would fuck with the current system.

Now if only True Blood actually put that level of thought into the world-building...
