(2) wouldn't work. People agree with propaganda not because they think it is telling the truth. On the contrary, they agree with propaganda and then they start believing it. I'd say it is more like a social adaptation, you need to be like others. (3) wouldn't work either, I think.

I don't know any, but I think that some way to form societies independent from the government might help. Some way to meet people, to discuss things with them, to plan actions and to do it at a large scale. But the problem is how you can distinguish a goverment spy from a freedom fighter? It is the key problem, everything else is just an implementation detail.
