Summary

This quote, derived from George Orwell's novel "1984", highlights the concept of perpetual war and the manipulation of historical truth in a dystopian society. It emphasizes the idea that the ruling party holds absolute control over information and effectively controls the collective memory of the population. In this totalitarian setting, it is possible for a country to be in constant conflict with one enemy while simultaneously being allies with that same enemy in the past, because the truth is distorted and rewritten to align with the party's current agenda. The quote underscores the theme of deceit and the erasure of objective reality in a world permeated by propaganda and manipulation.
