" If there is hope, it must lie in the proles, because only there, in those swarming disregarded masses, eighty-five percent of the population of Oceania, could the force to destroy the Party ever be generated" (Orwell, 69).
Because of the inner parties complete control and observation of the outer party, a revolution could not be generated in the outer party without getting detected. This means that if this society will ever be destroyed, it must come from the sect with the least amount of information and, perhaps, the least motive. The Proles are the class that the Party is overlooking, and also may be their undoing. Orwell is also linking our culture to his novels in this passage. Whenever great change happens in our world, it is usually caused by a revolution of the middle or lower classes, begging for change.
