How does George Orwell establish a Dystopian setting setting to 1984?

There are many ways in which George Orwell conveys a feeling of a dystopian society to the reader. Some of the key reasons are due to how he describes the city that he is living in. On page 2 he says that the town had "rubble; and the places where the bombs had cleared a larger patch". This is clearly not a suitable living environment.
Another reason that George Orwell establishes a dystopian setting is by dehumanising the public. He does this by removing their freedom of speech. For example when Winston begins to write he diary he mentions that "if detected it was reasonably certain that it would be punished by death, or at least by twenty-five years in a forced-labour camp." This is punishment is preventing people having their own opinions on their life and is preventing their own thoughts.
Another reason why I believe this novel to establish Dystopian fiction is the way that government is controlled instead of having equal rights the government is Despotism, meaning the exercise of absolute power similar to that of a dictatorship.
