See, you can lack education, and still have a clever mind. Communist propaganda praises the proletarians (not the "prolets").
But in German: a "Prolet" is a derogatory term indeed indicating not only low class, but also a scumbag by character, a stupid blokehead no matter how high his edcuation is, a brutal egoist, an anti-social narcissist. Its a very negative characterization to label somebody as a "Prolet". Its in no way meant friendly and nice, or even just "neutral".
"Prolet" and "Proletariar" are and mean two different things.
