This one is close to the one I would have proposed, too, with a couple of twists (forgive me but I've never watched B5, so I'll have to use other pseudonyms; also, keep in mind these aren't anarchists, but socialists, so fewer complications with process, which can be both good and bad):
Instead of Zoe, we've got Leon and Ilya and Friedrich. They are approximately that old -- well, they're in their sixties, and veterans of the 1960s. All white males. They view themselves as this historic (the LOCAL historic) leaders of a small socialist group, in one of its branches. They are boring as FUCK. They get feminism in theory, but not reality. They alienate every young new member ever, such that those people do not stick around. They mean well. They are manic activists because now they're RETIRED and have all the time in the world. Among them, Leon feels that he is crucial to the branch and must be on every steering committee ever. I think he hasn't NOT been on the SC for something like fifteen years. How is it possible not to overthrow this triumvirate? Yet they're not evil, or cops, or stupid, or psychotic. They're just boring, alienating blowhards. What to do?
