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.
