Big Brother has definitely won. Throughout the entire book, Winston is fighting to go against Big Brother, but Big Brother brings him down in the end, penetrating and infiltrating his mind. One State is too strong to be brought down. No mass has the capability to bring them down because the State has so many ways to manipulate the minds of the citizens of Oceania. In the end, I think Winston goes back to loving and accepting Big Brother the way every other citizen seems to -- being brain washed and mindless.
