In the novel 1984 written by George Orwell According to Winston with whom does hope lie for a better society?

Winston says that hope for a better society lies with the proles (more properly known as the proletarians.) Winston states this because the proles are unobserved by the Party (and therefore are free to think as they please) and because the proles are larger in number than any other group (Outer or Inner Party.) Winston believes that by living the way they have, the proles have succeeded in "staying human."
