Get the Conservative Socialist mug.Noun.
An individual who briefly embraces the concepts of Socialism after a lifetime of objection and hostility to it. This is done to satisfy a momentary need for its benefits, which the individual has actively sought to deny others when they needed it. Once the need is satisfied, the Situational Socialist will then usually resume hostility and objection to Socialism as before and resume seeking to deny it benefits to others, while acting as though the previous aid was never needed nor granted.
