[Nineteen Eighty-Four] Who is at the top?

One thing I've been wondering back to about George Orwell's 1984 is whether or not there is some group at the top, above the party's outer and inner circles and benefiting from control of the masses. Is this the case? Or has everybody fallen victim to the doublethink/newspeek paradigm. That is to say, if one were to lead a rebellion, is there one particular group which is causing the system to be the way it is and can be targeted, or is it a systematic issue which must be uprooted from the bottom?

The inner party are at the top. 

Basically there are three groups of workers. Many assume that Winston is at the bottom but he’s actually in the middle. It works like this:

**Proles**: about 85% of the population. They do all the grunt work and are kept in line with sports, porn and alcohol.

**Outer Party**: About 13% of the pop. This is the traditional middle class but is kept under close watch and at near poverty levels by today’s standards. (The party believes that revolutions start from the middle class so they are the ones that are actually the most oppressed.)

**Inner Party**: Top 2%. They have servants/slaves, their own cars and some even say their own helicopters. They realise that it’s all propaganda but it’s unsure how much they buy into it. They will purge their own, though, as they did with Goldstein (assuming he actually exists). 

As you can see from that last paragraph, the problem with this whole thing is no one really knows what goes on with the Inner Party. However, if you did want to overthrow the whole thing, going against them is where you would start.
