I met this person, (let’s call them Austen) through my “bible study group” (actually a pop pagan group), and when I found out Austen is a leftist, we hit it off quite well. We’ve been together for around a month, but we do have our differences, which I can respect. Will our differences be a problem?

Have fun and be good to each other. Your core values are aligned and the difference between leftist tendencies in daily life is very minimal. You both believe in abolishing capitalism, returning power to the workers, and intersectional liberation.

Ask them if they’re a CIA operative. They have to tell you if they are!

i would guess in a best case scenario, the west is 10+ years away from leftists having gained any political power, so any political arguments you have in the meantime are either an excuse to kill time or break up

Well, is being a general leftist who loves world peace close enough?

I mean if you share the same core values it probably will not be a problem, that is way more important than any ideology
