And to add some sprinkles, I read this par...Lovely. And to add some sprinkles, I read this part in 1984 last night:<BR/><BR/>“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. The Party could not be overthrown from within. Its enemies, if it had enemies, had no other way of coming together or even of identifying one another. Even if the legendary Brotherhood existed, as just possibly it might, it was inconceivable that its members could ever assemble in larger numbers than twos and threes. Rebellion meant a loo in the eyes, an inflection of the voice; at the most, an occasional whispered word. But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, would have no need to conspire. They needed only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies. If they chose they could blow the Party to pieces tomorrow morning. Surely sooner or later it must occur to them to do it.”Leslie Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00394615003958722236noreply@blogger.com
