Wikipedia: Champagne socialist
Champagne socialist is a political term commonly used in the United Kingdom. It is a popular epithet that implies a degree of hypocrisy, and it is closely related to the concept of the liberal elite. The phrase is used to describe self-identified anarchists, communists, and socialists whose luxurious lifestyles, metonymically including consumption of champagne, are ostensibly in conflict with their political beliefs.

Inspired by this dumb “latte crew” line[0], turns out that latte is actually the most popular coffee order in Aus[1]. At least “champagne socialist” implies something fancy and rarified. Latte crew ~= Bud Lite Bolshevik

Not sure why “champagne socialism” is seen as a bad thing. Surely it means people can be individually successful, still want to support society as a whole, and just not be a cunt.

Better a ‘Champagne Socialist’ than a Fanta Fascist. The former cares about other humans, the latter… not so much.
