George Orwell – Proles

If proles revolted they could establish a better world, but the proles are incapable of organizing (or unwilling to organize) a revolution. It is noted that any prole that exhibits tendencies towards rabble-rousing or independent thought is simply marked down by the Thought Police to be killed, making revolution from that group even more unlikely. It is not suggested by anyone in the novel that the Party could collapse by itself. It has too tight control over the Party members who have already lost their human feelings.
