Simple. Stop obeying them. Die rather than submit, if they want to kill you.

Very easy to say from a well-fed, comfortable Western perspective.

The people in North Korea have been brainwashed for the last 50 years. They have no access to information from the outside world. The entire society is based around worship of the Dear Lader. The propaganda machine has convinced them that there is a worldwide famine and that N. Korea is actually better off than anywhere else. If you and your family had spent the last 50 years living in that society, you would not be fighting back, either.

So, to say that these people can be expected to rise up is completely unrealistic.

Yes it is easy to say, and hard to do. No, there is no great mystery in it, no special insight or awareness required, no information beyond what one sees other men doing to one's own relations. Everywhere and always, men have the option to simply not tolerate being treated like animals. When they tolerate it, they are treated like animals.
