Most people that were born during the rein of the Party know no other way of life. They all grew up without emotions, freedom or an identity. Winston who vaguely remembers when times were different fantasizes about overthrowing the government. He realizes that the Party is not unbeatable but that it would take all the people of Oceania to recognize this before anything would change. The problem is that the people of Oceania live in complete oblivion. Every history book has been altered to make the people believe that the Party has been around since man first walked the earth.
