War is no longer preserving rights, acquiring territory, or expanding the sphere of influence a country posses. It is merely a method of gaining an outlet of surplus resources that the government does not wish to employ to improve the living conditions of its citizens. This system is impregnable and mutually beneficial to super states even in the midst of battle. This must be disheartening for Winston. He must truly believe that he along with an unknown handful of others will be more successful in destroying the party than one of its militant enemies.
