A social services worker doesn't produce a marketable commodity or value for capitalists

instead they play a role as a relief valve for the contradictions of capitalism.

You should let the capitalists know this then because what you're describing does not decribe the system, how capitalists behave or how capitalist governments define policy. If one plays a role as a 'relief valve for the contradictions of capitalism', then under capitalism their labour is both desirable and subject to market forces. Capitalist governments absolutely do treat public work as a marketable commodity. No resources are allocated without a calculus behind it, or behind the intent of devaluing the labor as much as is possible.

And, again, being a proletarian is a social class in respects to ownership of the means of production. That's it. Any more splitting of hairs and soon enough you'll be claiming that the soup kitchen worker is a PMC akin to cops.

The working class is comprised of everyone whose relationship with the means of production is at its core selling their labor. That's it. There's no reason to split hairs about who's PMC or not. The fundamental and likely difference between a judge and the clerical worker under that judge is that the judge likely makes enough money and comes from a social background that makes them a shareholder of american capitalism.

Anything more than that and you'll be talking past each other because you're thinking of bankers who were turned into department heads and they'll be thinking of middle income administrators. Meanwhile DOGE is spends its days firing park rangers and such. Dismantling a state institution isn't good or bad on the condition that its staffed by capitalists or not. It's good or bad on the basis of the policy that is being attacked. This being the US, everything outside of spending on the military or Israel is under attack.

an italian with a name as descriptive as battista de pizzaiolo would be contractually obligated to call themselves Pope Papi

this isn't new. the courts of europe and asia have utilized astrology for thousands of years. i wouldn't be caught dead serving an emperor that doesn't define all state policy on the basis of jupiter, the planet.
