When so many people think of a real life example of 1984’s Oceania (fuck you anyway, orwell), the most common one is North Korea.
So how could one easily disprove all these claims?

well, i usually try to say something like this:
-about tiranny: "tell me, how is it possible that a ‘cruel dictatorship’ can resist for so long without money or support from the rich? how is it possible that we don’t hear about big revolts and violence in there, giving that people ‘suffer so much’? what’s the secret of the kim family to keep all that people subjected with all those handicaps and pinochet had so much trouble even when US give him money and support?
-about starvation: what did the communist do to ‘starve’ people? could it be that, they’re having troubles because the sanctions, more than anything else? why would you sanction a country with a ‘failed’ economical system? if socialism is so fragile, why the need to sanction those countries?
