Goldstein was delivering his usual venomous attack upon the doctrines of the Party— an attack so exaggerated and perverse that a child should have been able to see through it, and yet just plausible enough to fill one with an alarmed feeling that other people, less level-headed than oneself, might be taken in by it. He was abusing Big Brother, he was denouncing the dictatorship of the Party, he was demanding the immediate conclusion of peace with Eurasia, he was advocating freedom of speech, freedom of the Press, freedom of assembly, freedom of thought, he was crying hysterically that the revolution had been betrayed.

Goldstein pronunciaba su habitual discurso en el que atacaba venenosamente las doctrinas del Partido; un ataque tan exagerado y perverso que hasta un niño podía darse cuenta de que sus acusaciones no se tenían de pie, y sin embargo, lo bastante plausible para que pudiera uno alarmarse y no fueran a dejarse influir por insidias algunas personas ignorantes. Insultaba al Hermano Mayor, acusaba al Partido de ejercer una dictadura y pedía que se firmara inmediatamente la paz con Eurasia. Abogaba por la libertad de palabra, la libertad de Prensa, la libertad de reunión y la libertad de pensamiento, gritando histéricamente que la revolución había sido traicionada.
