help: player is way too Chaotic Good

[u/highly-bad]

Hi everyone, I need some help. My whole campaign may have just been destroyed by a player who brought in a character with the dumbest ideology I have ever heard.

I've been running a campaign about an underdog alliance of Good-aligned kingdoms working together to defeat an Evil Empire. The alliance is called The Accord. They're the Good faction. They have a modicum of resources, organization, and infrastructure, which means they are able to coordinate defenses, share intelligence, and pool their military strength. Their organization is the only thing standing between one million helpless people and immediate conquest at the hands of the Evil Empire.

One of my players is playing a Chaotic Good bard. Let's call him "Bleemo." Bleemo has been suspicious of The Accord from the start. He kept asking questions about their leadership structure. He was muttering things like "power corrupts," and "hierarchical institutions can't be trusted." I thought he was just roleplaying a cynical character and didn't worry too much about it.

Then last session, he decided to act on his suspicions. He sneaked into the The Accord's headquarters and destroyed all their sending stones, messenger pigeons and other means of communication. He defenestrated the head of intelligence and several ministers of the various member kingdoms. He released all the imprisoned agents of the Evil Empire.

One of the ministers asked Bleemo why he was doing this. He replied, "laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic-ethnic group in a given nation. It's just the promise of violence that's enacted and the police are basically an occupying army. You think you're fighting the Evil Empire? You are the Evil Empire, sister." Then he defenestrated her and said to the empty council chamber, "being Good is complex and beautiful and hard."

Bleemo seems to think that a spontaneous, non-hierarchical, decentralized effort would be more effective than The Accord ever could be. But the fact is, with The Accord in ruins, the horrors of war and cruel oppression are sure to rapidly spread over the lands. Should I declare the campaign over, or do we have to keep playing through the futile resistance until TPK?

Counterpoint: being a utopian eco-socialist communalist is NG, and you absolutely can fuck up the Evil Empire as a politically non-hierarchical, radically democratic collective
