The proles are kept ignorant and powerless from "summary" of 1984, Animal Farm (Set of 2 Books) by Orwell George
The Party maintains control over the proles by keeping them ignorant and powerless. They are given just enough education to perform their basic tasks but are not allowed to learn anything that might threaten the Party's rule. The Party controls the information that the proles receive, ensuring that they only know what the Party wants them to know. The Party also keeps the proles powerless by preventing them from organizing or forming any kind of resistance. They are kept occupied with meaningless tasks and entertainment, distracting them from the reality of their situation. The Party wants the proles to remain apathetic and unaware of their own oppression. By keeping the proles ignorant and powerless, the Party ensures that they will never be a threat to their rule. The proles are seen as mindless drones, easily controlled and manipulated by the Party. As long as the proles remain in this state, the Party will continue to hold onto power without fear of rebellion. In this way, the Party maintains its grip on society, using the proles as a means of production and as a source of labor. The proles are essential to the functioning of the Party's regime, but they are also kept in a state of subjugation and ignorance. As long as the proles remain in this state, the Party's rule will remain unchallenged.
