  Readers Proles
The word "proles" is short for the word "proletariat" which was a word used by the Romans for their slaves.
Around 1991 or so the powers-that-be announced that "Communism is dead" and moved their tyrants into position of trust and friendship with the Capitalist tyrants of the world, thus fulfilling Orwell's prophesy of "oligarchical collectivism".
These days we're becoming "the proles" in all senses of the word and don't seem to be fulfilling Orwell's hope, ie "If there was hope, it lay in the proles, because only there could the force to destroy the Party ever be generated...If only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength".

  Proles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Proles is a Newspeak term in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four to describe the proletariat class.
Proles did not have to wear a uniform; they could use cosmetics; they had a free market where Outer Party members could get some deficit product (in the novel it’s shoelaces and razor blades); they were free because they posed no danger to the Party.
Proles preserved the essence of life, human emotions, and even English language (Oldspeak) and the Party could not control it.

One of the few similarities that the proles have with the classes in America is that they live a carefree life in which they are given the liberty to do what they want and express what they feel.
The proles were expected to work and breed because their other activities were of no importance (Sheppard).
Proles were free to be promiscuous, to have a religion, to divorce, and none of these went with punishment (Sheppard).

 Proletariat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The proletariat (from Latin proles, offspring) is a term used to identify a lower social class; a member of such a class is proletarian.
Originally it was identified as those people who had no wealth other than their sons; the term was initially used in a derogatory sense, until Karl Marx used it as a sociological term to refer to the working class.
Marx himself argued that it was the goal of the proletariat itself to displace the capitalist system with socialism, changing the social relationships underpinning the class system and then developing into a future communist society in which: "..the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all" (Communist Manifesto).

The he Proles Alp is a classical mountain for days with high avalanche danger.
From there we went left to a peak near Proles alp (because of lack of time), where we found good slopes for practicing our skiing skills.
I was until today not able to make the summit of Proles (bad weather and this year lack of time because of an accident on the road to Frein) but one day - I am sure - I will make it and I will let it you know on this place.

Especialy the young punks who live with their parents and don't have to work hard all day for food (althought there are punks who have to work their asses off just to eat, weather they're young and just have a very poor family, or old and still haven't sold out).
To be perfectly blunt the proles were the shit on members of the society, kind of like us.
Were exploited when were profitable, shit on when were not, we are the proles and society is the rest of the party trying both to conform us, and to ignore us, dismissing us as dumb stoned kids who don't know what their talking about.

 Proles apart Spectator, The - Find Articles
The proles gather in 'the drinking-shop', or the pub, as they insist on continuing to call it in their old-fashioned way.
Gone is the optimism of Orwell's proles, agreeably isolated, as they then were, from Big Brother, Room 101 and the ubiquitous telescreens.
The great pleasure for the proles in the pub in Nineteen Eighty-Four is the Lottery, which Orwell predicted to the letter, 45 years before the first real draw took place.

 George Orwell: 1984 - Part I - Chapter VII
If there was hope, it must lie in the proles, because only there in those swarming disregarded masses, 85 per cent of the population of Oceania, could the force to destroy the Party ever be generated.
When he had reached the spot it was to see a mob of two or three hundred women crowding round the stalls of a street market, with faces as tragic as though they had been the doomed passengers on a sinking ship.
But simultaneously, true to the Principles of doublethink, the Party taught that the proles were natural inferiors who must be kept in subjection, like animals, by the application of a few simple rules.

A normal response would be to join the proles, to want to be part their society.
The lottery, which feels the proles with hopes and keeps them working hard, is truly just a lie.
In the end the proles are nothing more than large majorities controlled by the government, to do the job that no one in the party wants to do.

 1984 Book Notes Summary by George Orwell: Topic Tracking: The Proletariat
Everyone in the Party seats applauded, but a woman in the prole section of the house was upset and started shouting that it was wrong to show that kind of thing, especially in front of children.
No one knows very much about them, and although the Party claims to have "liberated" the proles from the miserable lives they led under the capitalists, the Party also teaches that the proles are inferior and must be kept that way.

Their sound is not identical, but they do share a similar vibe, particularly in terms of a wall-of-sound approach to the stage, and they definitely share an audience.
The difficulty here is that, ultimately, the Proles don’t seem nearly as interesting as Low Flying Owls, a problem exacerbated by the fact that the Proles played last weekend at an absolutely ear-shattering volume, a facet of their performance that ultimately detracted rather than added to what was happening onstage.
Both melody and texture are lost when blasted through the listener’s skull at the volume of a jet engine, and it often appeared that the Proles lacked both (again, though, it was difficult to determine because all subtlety was chased from the room).

 David T. Little : composer | selected works
...the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, would have no need to conspire.
The pessimistic tone of the work is derived from the realization that, according to Orwell, the proles, by their very nature, are incapable of organizing, and thus incapable of any sort of revolution.
We are left, then, with the realization that, as hope does not really lie in the proles, there is no hope at all.

 The Communist Quiz
The problem is that not only the Proles heard about Marx, Tocqueville et al, those in power did too, and still do, so now Industrialists and Bourgeoisie have ensured that the Capitalist system cannot trigger its own demise by making sure that the Proles have a lot more to loose than their chains.
But in a post-industrial society, the proles are by far the majority, and in today's globalism/free trade society, they outnumber the other two classes by a ratio of millions to one.
That's kinda the point, there are no proles and bourgeois as there once were, simple because there has been a concerted effort to eradicate them, and hopefully eliminate the inevitable fruiting and decay of capitalism.

 Talking to George Orwell
Winston’s love of Julia enables him to see the proles as fully human and he realises that people must have been governed by private loyalties before.
He also realises that he has to re-learn the primitive emotions by conscious effort - that the proles were the human beings, but he and Julia were not.
Of course by the end of the book he fails in his quest, because he knows he is not one of the proles.

Criss-crossing this broader fabric are the tightly-linked themes of race, class, culture, gender and history, all of which are pulled together in often unexpected, absurdist settings that, however, never fail to reveal their specific setting, i.e.
Wiran and Yone, a male Party member and Prole woman respectively, are caught in the midst of the institutionalized segregation which has been part of their lives for as long as they can remember.
Wiran is a journalist with a local paper, whose discontent with the oppressive atmosphere of censorship and political repression finds an outlet in The Movement For A New Brotherhood, an activist group which agitates in support of a society where privilege and hierarchy are no longer dictated along racial lines.

On the question if the society in "1984" was "totalistic," I wrote earlier that it was not because there were the "proles." The proles composed 85% of Oceana and had their own society.
"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 Oceana, could the force to destroy the Party ever be generate.
A few agents of the Thought Police moved always among them, spreading false rumors and marking down and eliminating the few individuals who were judged capable of becoming dangerous; but no attempt was made to indoctrinate them with the ideology of the Party.

All those influences can be heard in the Proles’ music, which deftly references those bands in a very subtle way.
The music on this near-perfect debut disc mixes elements of pop and rock and is colored with splashes of psychedelia and progressive rock.
And though the Proles have been compared to Low Flying Owls, and the two bands share some common musical ground, the Proles have a more decided rock and pop edge to their sound.

 Sic Semper Tyrannis - Post details: "Security" For The Proles
Bob Sullivan has an excellent and incisive critique of the security complex post-9/11, in light of the recent crash of Cory Lidle's plane into a NYC skyscraper.
One might reasonably ask why and how this could happen, given that the popular impression is that a large enough bird would be summarily shot down from the skies over Manhattan in this age of confiscated toothpaste.
Sullivan's main observation is that, while us proles have been massively inconvenienced (or humiliated, or had our rights violated, etc.), the "elite" have been playing by a different set of rules.
