What is another word for radical chic?
Pronunciation: [ɹˈadɪkə͡l ʃˈiːk] (IPA) 
Radical chic refers to the trend of wealthy people associating themselves with leftist or radical political causes. Synonyms for this concept include bourgeoisie socialism, limousine liberalism, champagne socialist, and even champagne anarchist. The term was popularized by Tom Wolfe in his 1970 essay "Radical Chic: That Party at Lenny's," in which he criticized the trend as a shallow attempt by the upper class to appear socially conscious without any real commitment to the cause. Alternative terms for radical chic also include faux-leftism, armchair activism, and performative progressivism. Regardless of what term is used, the concept of wealthy individuals appropriating radical causes for their own social standing remains a polarizing topic.
