This has been asked many times, and thought the search function does not seem to be working for me, you could probably find those posts.
My position is Id date pretty much anyone, because there aren’t many MLs around (and I’m lonely), and one’s views will inevitably rub off on their partner. Since ML is a very strong and anti-dogmatic worldview, coming into contact with other views will only only strengthen it, while it has a good chance of “converting” others especially people close to you.
Many dick head children of famous Marxists, unfortunately. A lot of that probably comes from growing up privileged and going to the private school that your Marxist mum or dad’s parents could never have sent your parents to.
Children is another matter, they often want to rebel or be different from their parents. With a romantic partner, however, if you talk about politics enough with good arguments, try to get them to read books and stuff, they will probably become closer to you politically and maybe organize with you with or without adopting the specific tendancy.

Hmm, are you sure is that potent though? There are children of Marxists that end up Soc Dems and even conservatives.

My partner is pretty much “apolitical”.
Still, from time to time I hear strong anti capitalist rhetoric. And sometimes I get the odd “what is working class” like questions.
They won’t seed revolution, but they won’t repeat imperialistic rhetoric blindly. Which is good enough for the world we live in.
