You would only use it if you were referring to the famous book by George Orwell, "1984." He created this slang expression to refer to the lower class or the working class people. It was a short version of the word "proletariat." So, you could say: "In the book 1984, the proles did not realize how little freedom they had because the government kept them distracted by giving them cheap entertainment."

Why does Orwell describe the proles in 1984 in the way that he does?

Orwell describes the proles in 1984 as being uneducated, impoverished, and politically apathetic because they represent the majority of the population in the novel who are kept ignorant and distracted by the ruling party. By keeping the proles in this state, the party maintains control over them and prevents any potential uprising or rebellion. This serves to emphasize the stark contrast between the oppressed proles and the privileged Inner Party members.
