I don’t think I’ve ever heard a communist or socialist refer to the proletariat as “proles”. Do you use it? Do you think it’s an acceptable abbreviation?

I think I saw it in George Orwell’s 1984 shit book, but I can’t tell for sure, considering how long I’ve read that garbage. Besides that vague memory, I don’t think I’ve ever heard it anywhere else.
Yes, “proles” is the default way to refer to working people in 1984.
