The joke is also decades old, it is public domain at this point.

Sorry, I should have been more precise with my language. The “how” wasn’t important for “1984”. You are absolutely right about it being very important for “Animal Farm”.

I am pretty sure it is just EastAsia we’ve always been at war with. At least that is what the Ministry of Truth says, and if you can’t believe them, we’ll, let’s just say you’ll be getting a visit from the Ministry of Love next.

And really the “How” wasn’t important to Orwell. The fact that Oceania and The Party exist is all that is necessary for him to explore the themes he wanted to. Knowing how it all came about would dilute the story and message.

It has also always been at war with… I want to say EastAsia. Right?
