I don't see any evidence for the government wanting an intellectually impoverished population - it's just that they don't want to do the necessary to prevent one. It's more cock-up than conspiracy.

"1984" hasn't been achieved by totalitarian power.
But by giving the proles bread and circuses, it has achieved the same end.
Not caring to make a change from poor circumstances when that change is possible, desirable and beneficial is not much worse than deliberately bringing about the poor circumstances in the first place.
