A champagne Democrat socialist (DSA) with an incredibly appropriate nickname is getting dragged after posting a quite telling message on social media.
NYC resident Grace Ryan, a 25-year-old chocolate heiress from Ohio who graduated from NYU this spring, went on X last week to defend recent criticism she has received for being a rich girl cheering on socialism.
“Everyone’s trying to dunk on me for being a progressive from a privileged background but like have yall never heard of noblesse oblige?” Ryan wrote. “I have a moral obligation to use my advantages to help those who are struggling.”
Most Americans, of course, have not. And not surprisingly, X roasted her all over again for this ultra-condescending post.
One fact they continuously pointed out was that Ryan lives in a rent-stabilized department despite her family’s wealth.
As The New York Post notes, the idea of “noblesse oblige” lets the rich keep their fortunes as long as they share a small portion of it. But the DSA advocates for a classless society, as Karl Marx did, a goal Ryan clearly does not believe in advancing.
Ryan, who has nicknamed herself “Lulu Lenin,” lives up to her nickname so well that she could pose as the poster child for champagne socialism in a GOP ad.
Her rich daddy is even a registered Republican!
