There's several subtle implications throughout the book that it doesn't. Most noticeably is the past tense used in the section describing Newspeak, as if it were describing something from the past.

I never saw that part as being a suggestion of the Party's fall, just that it existed as an article outside of the novel. It is standard practice for pretty standard practice for authors to write in the past tense, after all. I mean, for all we know, the Party controls the entire world, and not just Oceania. It's not impossible considering the only source of information that says otherwise is constantly reshaping the truth.
