i see you're logic but i think it's possible (and IMO preferable) to adhere to your political beliefs AND acknowledge and struggle with politics in a relationship. i'm not talking about fucked up politics, like adhering to the protestant work ethic and all that other BS. but radical philosophies that subvert and seek to destroy the system.
