I don’t have one because I have been in a relationship for years now, but I didn’t in the past and don’t think I would now.
My current partner isn’t really an outspoken communist in the way that I tend to describe myself. She holds many of the same values though and tends to agree with me politically, we just…don’t discuss politics a lot. She would probably be in the “fellow traveler” category.
I feel like just saying “communist” could presuppose a lot of negative baggage, even if undeserved. A lot of people, for example, would agree with all the tenants of Marxism-Leninism without realising it, but because of social conditioning might be predisposed to negative thoughts about Communism. They are probably the easiest people to engage with on the subject, but might be put off simply by the label.
I had enough controversial things on my old dating profile without needing to make it even harder.
