A faux socialist; one who professes to follow socialist principles, but in fact opposes or undermines them at every turn. Tony Blair's "New Labour" in the UK is a well-known example.

The act of pretending to be involved in a socialist community for personal reasons that have nothing to do with the people who are actually involved. i.e. to alleviate guilt, or to get that socio-hippie-freak lover to complete the collection.

The act of attending public gatherings--to be in a social setting--but then emitting a vibe that says you want to be left alone. Being there simply to be around others.
A false toughness defined by machismo and self-imposed isolation. The fauxic lives a life of constant, perceived persecution or threat without a fully formed sense of self.

Drinking yourself into an early grave to avoid talking to someone isn’t tough or edgy, it’s fauxicism.
There is upper-case Stoicism, lower-case stoicism, and then there is Fauxicism, the lowest-case stoicism.
