In "1984" by George Orwell, the ruling Party's oppressive policies towards the proletariat, particularly their control over all aspects of life, including freedom of thought and expression, instigated the revolutions. The Party's relentless propaganda and censorship prevented the people from expressing their discontent and dissent towards the government. The lack of free thought and expression made it difficult for the people to recognize their shared grievances and organize a successful rebellion.
The Party's goal was to maintain complete control over society and eliminate any potential threats to their power. To achieve this, they implemented a system of perpetual war, which allowed them to maintain their hold on power by directing the population's anger towards an external enemy. This tactic allowed the Party to maintain its power and prevent any significant uprisings until the protagonist, Winston Smith, began to question the Party's authority.
Winston's questioning and eventual rebellion against the Party's policies served as a catalyst for the people's desire for freedom and a better life. However, the Party's response to the rebellion was violent and brutal, with the use of brainwashing tactics and the complete destruction of any opposition. In the end, the Party's control over society remained unchallenged, and any hope for revolution was crushed. The book serves as a warning about the dangers of totalitarianism and the importance of individual freedom and expression.
