First, it says that proles are associated to be the lower class. The high class in this society will always be high class, Inner Party, and in control. The book talks about how the proles aren’t in power and how the party runs but can’t be stopped. This happens because the citizens don’t know anything and are placed in their society. Like with war, they stay in war so people can stay ignorant and not really wonder and think about the other places like Eurasia and Eastasia. Winston caught the fact earlier that they were in war with Eastasia and not Eurasia. I think that this could alter his hopes for the proles because they really don’t have a reason to live and don’t know about anything. The Party job is to keep the proles stupid and they are accomplishing their task. They keep the proles in poverty and in darkness until they need to raise them up like when they showed the prisoners of war that one time. This theory does make sense because they control history to which no one knows and keeps everything in their society running basically by telling no one about anything that goes on outside their society. The Inner Party always stays in power because there are always new members being in the party and old ones going away.
