[1984] Is there any hope for peace, democracy, etc. in this world?

Two hopeful answers:

First, there's an alternate reading of 1984 that says that the book is, in effect, a lie.  Not that the events aren't true within the book universe, but that the description of the rest of the world is no more reliable than a North Korean account of American Politics.  Since everything we get is from the party and filtered through Smith we don't really know what the rest of the world is like. Oceania could easily be a small pariah state, surrounded by a regular world. 

Second, there's always at least some hope, because humanity came from darkness. There isn't freedom because there's a word for it, there's a word for freedom because the concept emerged on its own. Even if it requires a thousand years of horrors, in a system where 2 +2 doesn't equal four anymore, eventually the monitors breakdown, the spies stop functioning, and there's at least a slim chance for renewal (especially since there's nothing in 1984 that suggests any plans or ability to change humanity on a permanent biological level)
