War is Peace is true. The three governments are equally matched, so they would never hope to conquer the other two. The real war is keeping the people working so that society runs smoothly. However, with all this production, there is not an scarcity, and then everyone would be equally wealthy and find no need to continue doing his or her job effectively. War solves the problem by creating the necessary destruction and a general state of scarcity increases the importance of small privileges and magnifies the distinction between one group and another.
