Would You Marry A Non-Leftist
I was reading this thread in the Christian Forum which I am a member of (see thread here:http://www.christianforums.com/t4979590 )
If you were going to marry someday or at least have a long term relationship would you be willing to marry a non-leftist?

No, politics constitute a large part of my life and reflect the underpinnings of my approach to life. I don't have anything meaningful in common with non-leftists, really.

If I suddenly and inexplicably fell in love with a non-leftist, yes. However, realistically speaking, there is no way I could ever fall in love with a non-leftist, because I would not date one in the first place. Therefore my answer has to be no.
Note: I am including reformists in my definition of "leftist" for the purpose of this thread. I would never date a liberal or a conservative, but social democrats are ok.

I remember a certain blonde Commie woman singing the Internationale that you knew one heck of a lot about.
If most of us are not religious, why would we practice a religious rite?
Agreed. Generally speaking I would only be really opposed to the idea if the guy was really anti-leftist or imperialist or something like that, in which case he would probably be steering clear of me.But on the other hand if the guy had the same political views as me we would be a better match.
KarlMarx1989 has a point but talking about a long term relationship.
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.
I require any potential partner to be able to recite the works of marx, bakunin lenin , luxemburg etc off by heart while dinning on the carcass's of children.

I told those fudge-packers that I like Michael Bolton's music. God.
Well, if the question were about just "long-term relationships" with non-leftists; then I would say that it depends.
There are many types of "non-leftists", there are right-wingers, far right-wing, moderate left-wing, republican, democrat, hippies, and anyone who doesn't care about what government is doing what to whom.
Personally, though, I believe that 'love' in the context of romance is not a feeling; but a word to describe how much one desires another. If that person of desire likes many of the same things you like and shares the same determination and desire, then it will be more bearable to see that person every day and to "stay with" that person.
I believe that love, in the context of friends, family, pets, etc; is a feeling.
Because in many instances the binding legal act of marriage has become a secularized act in the hands of the bourgeois state, or some other institution of authority.
So? It was started by the early days of the Jewish religion. Since then other religions have come up with their own versions of the same.
If you people are so against religious people and their ways, why would want to do what they started if you don't do anything else they started? When religion became one with the state, it became a legal act. If you are all so against the combination of church and state, why pedal a religious / legal act?
I wouldn't marry.
I think I could love a non-leftist though.

Thread closed.
OI Learning is for productive debate and discussion, not threads which would otherwise belong in Chit-Chat.
Also, Richard Nixon, consider this a verbal warning for spamming OI with unnecessary threads. Threads such as "What's wrong with a moral code" and "Motivating People to Work" are fine and productive, ones such as this and "Questions to Anarchists" are pointless and silly.
I know you can tell the difference so use your head.

If we have no business with the construction of the future or with organizing it for all time, there can still be no doubt about the task confronting us at present: the ruthless criticism of the existing order, ruthless in that it will shrink neither from its own discoveries, nor from conflict with the powers that be.
