In Oceania the opportunity to think and do what is considered normal by society at large, was not the norm. This was a society that pretty much brainwashed the citizens to believe anything that they said or did regardless of whether people actually knew what was right or wrong , that what was said or done by the party, was right.
So to actually say that two plus two makes four and knowing that by saying it, thinking it and believing it is right without having to suffer any repurcussions in Winston's eye sight means having freedom. Winston also believed that if one could believe what they deemed was right, and nothing happened to them because of their beliefs, then they had achieved freedom.
