1984 August 6, page 281 Q8

"To die hating them, that was freedom."

Winston thought about being arrested and interrogated. If a person could get through the questioning, beating, and mind control and in the end still hated the Party, he had won. It was not enough for the Party that the people obeyed their rules and believed what they said. The government needed its people to love it, and worship everything that it did. If it was found that a person did not like the Party they would be punished and punished by the Thought Police.
