1984 (3,2) You Will Never Have Existed
O’Brien explains to Winston the new way of dealing with ‘dissenters’ - that is, the mentally insane. Big Brother has learned from history. There will be no martyrs; everyone is brought to confess their errors and crimes and to recognize the truth and goodness of the Party. Even better, they are ‘disappeared’ from history altogether.

“You must stop imagining that posterity will vindicate you, Winston. Posterity will never hear of you. You will be lifted clean out from the stream of history. We shall turn you into gas and pour you into the stratosphere. Nothing will remain of you: not a name in a register, not a memory in a living brain. You will be annihilated in the past as well as in the future. You will never have existed.”
-- “1984” by George Orwell
