I guess it depends on what one considers to be ultra oppressed and if nonviolent is a choice or out of inability or fear.
I would regard living in a communist state as being ultra oppressive. Uprisings such as Tiananmen Square are quickly and violently quashed. Dissenters are thrown in prison. I think fear comes into play quite a bit.
I would suspect many tribes beholden to tribal violence in Africa would fall into the same category. They lack the means to fight back and fear reprisals if they do so.
