Socialite vs socialist
A: His wife was a socialite
B: Oo I like that word "socialite," like 'socialist.' Only they're opposites.
How are they opposites? Doesn't look that way to me
B was sort of joking.
A socialite is an individual organizing luxury parties attended by the rich and famous.
A socialist is an individual organizing counter-cultural events attended by wannabe Communists.
I'm joking too. But I hope I brought about some kind of explanation.
Wonderful Autumn,

Completely opposite -- socialites move in high class social circle, while socialists aim to minimize class distinctions.
