Left leans into champagne socialism

[Counselor706]

Confused as to why someone who presents as a “for the people” socialist demands all the opulent privileges of a Politburo member? Welcome to champagne socialism.

Left-wing, woke sloganeering is the social capital of the cultural elite. It’s the currency by which they maintain their status and shield themselves from criticism. “Tax the rich” is a perfectly acceptable and, in fact, an approved message, just as “protect unborn life” wouldn’t be.

By demonstrating their commitment to various left-wing causes—especially diversity, equity, and inclusion—no manner of hypocrisy, incompetence, or failure can derail this elite’s access to power.

The only flaw in this system is it will crumble if the people truly turn against them. If the people decide that they’ve had enough of the hypocrisy, enough of the vapid sloganeering, and begin to demand competence and accountability from leaders, maybe there will be consequences to this nonsense.

It's an old story. But the existence of "champagne socialists" and "limousine liberals" and "radical chic" never discredits anything about socialism or liberalism or radicalism.

Is Soros handing out champagne with the next Antifa Newsletter? or is that part of the BLM Wine of the Month club?

Based on the other stories on that site's front page, it is edited by idiots, and we can dismiss this one.

Hypocrisy does not invalidate anything the hypocrite says.

Sure it does, if you're not willing to live by your own politics why should I?

LOL... you leftist want "progress"?? YOU FIRST MOTHER FUCKERS!!! Fuckin' do it.

Start that California universal HC for any and all who show up with their hands out, 90% tax on EVERYTHING in California to pay for it all.

NO ID!!!! That's racist.

Show us all how it's done......bet you wont.

Of course it does. Its PR says it's a ground-up revolt of the masses against an exploitive upper class, but the reality is that it's a top-down imposition of regimented society on the less powerful.

Except that these socialists and radicals are in no position to do that, not in this country. They're a distinct minority among the elite, most of whose economic politics are quite the opposite.

They're doing it as we speak.

Notice how the masks are only for "the help".....not for the good comrades though.

The elite ain't leftists, quite the reverse.

TMZ styled political gossip that distracts from issues that actually affect people's lives.

"Oh so in so says they for animal rights but I saw him eating a hamburger!"

Let's not discuss millions of Americans without health care, the ever increasing homeless population, looming environmental catastrophe, etc. Let's instead talk about the personal foibles of political celebrities as if fancy dinner party etiquette was observed or not are the biggest problems facing the nation.

Ohhh look RobDownSouth style veteran/service member bashing!!!

Glad to know you hate service members but let's address some of the overt lies here.

1) They don't do nothing. That's why none, not a SINGLE ONE of you who make this case will make that sacrifice to "do nothing" and get all the "Free" shit they by going down and signing 4 years of your life away to the man.

2) Yes... taking from the productive to provide for degenerate bums is something communist do and socialist at large advocate. (D)-gens gotta be (D)-gens.

3) Stay mad we pay our servicemembers, WHO PROVIDE SERVICE, but not bums who do nothing. It helps our cause when you leftist dishonestly and willfully ignore the differences between earned benefits and welfare by crying about how military members get "free" *insert benefit name* as part of their compensation for service.
