Don’t you mean ex-girlfriend?

“Whoever knows what is right but doesn’t do it is sinning. So then, if we do not do the good we know we should do, we are guilty of sin”.

Just to quote the Bible that the Republicans love so much

I think this is way too narrow. Following Marx? For sure, you’re right… but if you look at “Liberalism” - which can span anything from “taxes and government are literal hell” to “we support LGBT rights” - and “Conservatism” - which can span anything from Angela Merkel to Trump to follow-my-millenia-old-book-by-the-letter-or-I-will-murder-you - the word “Socialism” in the modern age can definitely contain nuances as well. For instance the main centre-left party in Denmark is called the “Social Democrats” then right to the left of it you have the “Socialist People’s Party” - which is far less revolutionary than it sounds - and then you have a few other parties, including one identifying as “Communist” but which doesn’t even really fight for any kind of revolution or the total elimination of class but recognises the requirement for collaboration and compromising when in power.

In that case it wouldn’t be that common to have a “casual” boyfriend coming to sleep over after a month though

I always make the same argument as to why left-wing politics has been so generally unappealing to working-class, average people - in spite of the irony. I vote left, I have a uni degree, and they still piss me off. Don’t talk about Marxist analyses, and don’t make everything about gender identity or Palestine (I care deeply about Palestine, but it’s not the main issue that I’d want my local political party to focus on) make it about the issues facing regular people on an every day basis. Say “bro, me like taxes” instead of producing a 20-page paper on the evils of capitalism.
