Somedays was a rotation heavyweight on my playlist during the early part of the Millenia. I was going steady and living with an aspiring Marxist-scholar book junkie at the time—his academic jargon made my heart swoon and he was a dead ringer of my first (of many) pre-teen celebrity crushes* so you could say I was in love or falling recklessly into it. But then again, we disagreed and argued

No activist has ever said that to me as a pick-up line. Then again, no apolitical charmer has ever asked me what my sign is either. Should that situation ever happen to any left militant, a scientific love profile based on ideology* would come in handy to determine whether or not your dogma is compatible with his/hers’ dogma. So I made one. The Communist Why we love them: As Vanguards of

Why  Because activists aren’t all mercenary die-hard ideologues. Most, if not all, are

I'm looking to profile activist couples every Monday starting October-ish. If you and your partner are, or if you know of any couples who're smashing imperalism, drop me a line and I'll send the info your way. This is the working-class version of the "bachelor of the week" or "bachelorette of the week" WITHOUT the skanky pictures and booty-call debauchery. I will NOT be asking if you're a boxer

Welcome to Dating Politics! For those following my other blog, Under Construction (subject to change), don't worry, I'm still posting (although I haven't been lately) stuff on it--I just wanted to give Dating Politics, a look at love, dating and politics its own platform. Aside from regularly posting, I'll be featuring activist couples every week.More next time!

It’s a known secret among the left that conferences are the mating safaris for activists and social dissidents. Building solidarity is to militants as feathers are to peacocks. But similar world-views and the forte to chant “the people united will never be defeated” in 62 languages doesn’t necessarily produce class love. So if you’re one of the many male activists—from idealistic neophytes to

Or bourgeois love vs. proletarian love. Or decadent love vs. activist love. Or idealist love vs. materialist love. Any way which way you call it, activists have their own culture, their own language, their own concept of love and how to express it. Here’s a general run-down about the love-ways of activists (class love) in comparison to society’s general attitude towards love (sex love). Your

You rallied passionately for her attention, and even employed protracted guerilla war-fare tactics. But in all honesty, you charmed the fist-wielding activist woman simply by knowing that whoever authored What is to be Done? did not write Working class Hero. You succeeded one battle; on to the next one soldier because dating a political Alpha-female requires that extra effort. To maintain your

Eyeing that woman left of centre but lack the strategic war-plan to conquer the political love/lust battlefield? Trying to snag a fist-wielding sass is like trying to understand the divisions of the Canadian Senate--frustrating, but not impossible.
