Unless you are born into generational wealth, you are by construction a Prole.

If you need to or had to work for a living until you could afford not to, then you are a Prole.

Whether you choose to "betray" this class - and fight in support of the people who make the rules, the slave owners, those who play god without permission - is a different thing.

A smart person who systematically mis-categorizes the world is worse than an idiot acting at random.

A class defines a set of people with some shared characteristic. In this case, this class contains about > 99.99% of the humans that have ever existed.

Some people find this helpfully confusing: it allows them to remain in denial of the obviousness of how horrendous the ruling class is.
