To be specific, he wrote this as the government of 1984 to the main character, trying to convince him to give up (which he does). This wasn't him saying this of real life directly at least, though he was obviously inspired by the real world. This is what the government wanted him to believe though, not reality necessarily. Assuming they're correct is how they get you to give up.
