When Winston is captured and held in the Ministry of love, O'Brien mentions the concept of erasing the ideas of revolution and hatred of the party before executing them. The concept at first seemed daunting, why spend all of that time to change someone's mind if you're just going to execute them anyway? Well the more you think about it, the more unsettling of an idea it becomes. The party successfully undoes any and all progress a secret brotherhood or uprising had made on someone. Even if someone else gets lucky like Winston and is set free, no one will ever leave the Ministry of Love with the slightest thought of rebelling. The way the party can manipulate the minds of the people like that is frightening, and it's a real eye opener to everyone reading it.
