This slogan serves as an example to how the party treats the citizens. The party is able to falsify records and change the past, which strengthens the idea of Big Brother being looked up to. This lie cannot be proved wrong since the documents and evidence have been destroyed.
"More commonly, people who had incurred the displeasure of the party simply disappeared and were never heard of again"(44-45).
This line describes what happens to people who offend or disagree with the party. This is another strength that the party has in which it can get rid of people who do not follow what they say. By eliminating people who have different opinions, they are able to hold on to the power and control the citizens.
"'Orthodoxy means not thinking—not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness" (53).
This is the main goal of the party, to stop people from thinking. This is also shown when they make people believe that two plus two is five. They do not want people to think about why things are the way they are, it is more convenient for the party if the citizens just listened and went along without questioning them.
