I have a theory that Winston is an unreliable/uninformed narrator about the rest of the world, and it’s just the Anglosphere that sucks while the countries in the two big communist economic blocks are all doing fine.
I think that was the point, the book challenges the idea that there even is a war going on multiple times. But whether there is a war going on, or not, is ultimately irrelevant to the context of the book.
