Champagne socialists; limousine liberals; nepo child Bolsheviks — whatever you might call them, the chutzpah of the rising class of DSA elites is nothing brief of staggering.
Gustavo Gordillo, the practically 40-year-old co-chair of New York City’s Democratic Socialists of America chapter, kicks back in a comfortable Bed-Stuy row home that his mother and father purchased and renovated for him.
This is the same man who appeared to relish the thought of bodega house owners being put out of enterprise by Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s bread-line boondoggle during one latest interview with Fox News’ Martha MacCallum.

And who called out landlords instantly by putting down the straw man of a “constitutional right to double-digit returns on their investment.”
Meanwhile, the DSA’s official platform calls for “a redistribution of land from the landowners to the landless.”
Maybe we should begin with luxurious bachelor pads inhabited by middle-aged failsons moonlighting as cartoon villains?
Then you have far-left superstar strategist Morriz Katz, one of the principals behind both Mamdani’s profitable marketing campaign and Graham Platner’s humiliating flameout, who signed a $6,500 lease in November — but “was late on his rent for the first three months” and “eventually . . . allegedly stopped paying entirely.”
Oh, and the house he left behind after mercifully shifting out (and lastly paying up) was a veritable pigsty.
“He didn’t clean up any of his s–t,” his tremendous advised The Post.
Charming — and inexplicable, given the reality that he too was born and bred in privilege with fast entry to the funds he had agreed to pay his landlord.
Of course, they aren’t the only hypocritical, wealth-hoarding “Eat the Rich” crusaders.

Mamdani himself is the son of award-winning filmmaker Mira Nair and Columbia University professor Mahmood Mamdani, who trip at their five-bedroom, four-bathroom Ugandan property that includes a pristine infinity pool and views of Lake Victoria.
Will he comply with up his ghastly publication of a pied-à-terre hitlist by calling on his mother and father to make out proportionate checks to the Ugandan authorities?
Or is his philosophy “play for me, punishment for thee”?
His cronies are no completely different

The chief of his Office to Protect Tenants thinks homeownership is a “weapon of white supremacy,” but retires to her mother’s $1.6 million property for holidays.
City Council ally and fellow wealthy child Chi Ossé blows off steam from his taxpayer-funded job at the Met Gala.
Tracy Rosenthal, the “Abolish Rent!” activist who has boasted about bankrupting her ex-landlord and has been elevated by Mamdani, grew up in a profitable music studio owned by her dad that’s performed host to David Bowie, Blondie and Coldplay.
And 9/11 apologist Hasan Piker, the son of a longtime high-ranking government at a multibillion-dollar Turkish megacorporation, playacts as an Islamo-Marxist guerrilla from the consolation of his obvious canine torture chamber.
The disconnect between these fortunate Leninists’ existence and their rhetoric isn’t just putting, it’s illuminating.
Each has always had generational wealth they had no half in creating to fall back on — and they usually do.
Their relationship with cash has always been indifferent from their own onerous work or ingenuity.
Many have never had a actual job their whole lives.
So of course they don’t worth the talent or diligence it takes to construct wealth.
If anything, they resent these who have truly made something of themselves.
No doubt there are some mommy and daddy points in there, too, that they’re taking out on the relaxation of us.
And some of them clearly acknowledge far-left politics for the worthwhile, comfortable grift it is.
Ascend to energy promising to tax the wealthy at residence before absconding to reside wealthy overseas? It’s good work if you can get it.
Stiff your landlord on the hire and get a pat on the back from the mayor? Why not?
Make hundreds of thousands off your Maoist-chic aesthetic while cruising around in your Porsche? Hell yeah!
For these floatie-wearing Lost Boys and Girls, their dangerous concepts are all enjoyable and video games — a low-cost, straightforward approach to obtain fame, feign rebelliousness and pad their already-loaded financial institution accounts.
For the relaxation of us, they’re an existential menace to the lives we’ve truly earned.
