The extremely long theory in the book about the classes that took up the majority of this chapter, but it makes sense to me. There is one part that I thought was really interesting, where "Goldstein" writes that society depends on what the upper classes' mental state is or something like that. It was around the same area where he was talking about how the upper class or ruling party could fall. I hadn't thought about that before, but I think it's true. This theory basically says that the proles will never rebel on their own. This is kind of big since Winston thinks they're the only hope because of their numbers. But the proles just aren't motivated and they are going to side with whoever promises them the most. This is probably disheartening for Winston since all his hopes rested with them. It's nice to finally have an explanation for hwo the world came to be as it is in the book and the explanation of the classes. It helps explain a lot about the book.
