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?

    1984 would never really function in reality. The economy, culture, and society in general would be unable to sustain itself for any significant period of time. Agenda driven world building tends to produce such poorly constructed worlds. They’re built based on the assumptions of an author who willfully wishes never to understand what they are critiquing.

    Take the most ridiculous claims and imagine them as true, think of all the societal consequences they would bring about. The mere fact that North Korea exists and continues to exists pretty much disproves them.
