Okay, hear me out, here's the plan…
We go full apathy, basically we let capitalism fully spiral out into fascism. Once it's done, people will rise up and the system will collapse under its own weight. From its ashes, with our help, a better society will rise. This is how we win.

[we now see that green is tied up in front of a bleak wall, along with a group of other people, being aimed at by a firing squad of characters in fascist uniforms]
[green, smiling] OK?
[blue, pissed] Dude…

These comics suck and I've blocked the original artist. They skip over the main challenges and oversimplify the problems at hand. I agree with their spirit and goal but they offer nothing in the way of constructive opinions. Downvoted.

The idea is highly contingent on enough people agreeing. Like any system will disappear in a second if 100% of the people agree that it should. The problem with fascist states is they tend to be dictatorships and use a lot of force which is really efficient in controlling people, which is also why every military is structured that way. You need only like 10% of the population and enough force vs this concept where you need nearly everyone.

And because we have millions of people there’s no way to get enough people to agree to do anything meaningful.

We are doomed and will go extinct.

Perhaps a wiser species will marvel at the thin smear of radioactive material and toxic petrochemicals and mass extinction that marks our passing.
