Champagne socialist is a term that describes a person who advocates socialist or leftist policies, but has a privileged lifestyle and is disconnected from the struggles of the working-class. While this term may accurately capture the contradictions and hypocrisy of such individuals, there are several synonyms that are often used interchangeably. Some of these include limousine liberal, posh leftist, or latte socialist. The term wine socialist is also commonly used, as it conveys a similar idea of someone who talks about socialist ideals over a luxurious glass of wine. Regardless of the word used, the concept remains the same; those who claim to fight for the working class while living a life of luxury remain a source of critique and controversy.
