In the novel it refers to a secret organization led by Emmanuel Goldstein called the Brotherhood. It is a group who's chief objective is to topple the power of Big Brother. While this would make sense because any free thinker would want to destroy the party, I think there may be other reasons for the government to make up this organization. The government would definitely benifet from more suspiscion and fear. If people in Oceania were constantly on the lookout for any Thought-Criminals they would only weaken their trust in eachother and strenthen their trust in the government.
