The first
answer here has a good, detailed in-depth discussion of why the Party chose those mottos.
However, it is not clear to me that that answer really goes with your question.
In response to your particular question, I would say that you are right -- what is
unusual about the mottos is simply that they seem to (and do) contradict themselves.
You would not expect a party or, in this case, an entire society, to be built around
ideas that cannot possibly be true. But that is the case in 's vision of the future. The first
answer gives a good discussion of why he might have had the Party use these slogans.
