    "They were beneath suspicion. As the Party slogan put it, 'Proles and
    animals are free'."

 The Proles' ignorance made them unthreatening to the Party. There was no
 reason for the Inner Party to worry about the Proles conspiring, since
 they were so absorbed in work and entertainment.

    "If there was 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."
