You probably would be able to guess that I've voted Conservative before.
Most of the JVL, J4L/Momentum and hardcore trade unionists I've met have an uncanny ability to detect ideological opponents to socialism.
My union jack wearing toy bulldog makes his enthusiasm for the Conservative Party obvious to everyone; he posts frequent odes to one nation conservatism and even poses for photos with my signed copy of Mrs Thatcher's autobiography on his thread.
My friends, ex's and coworkers are a politically diverse bunch.
All the mainstream political parties of England plus a variety of fringe parties.
Christian Peoples Alliance, DUP, Sinn Fein, SNP, Socialist Worker Party, Womens Equality Party.
No groupthink at all, we've all got totally different values and political priorities.
Most of the other children of revolutionaries I knew growing up are political activists, joined either SWP or Labour.
One guy even joined the WRP, stood as their candidate this year for Southall- when he showed me his election leaflet it certainly got my attention.
I'm not from Northern Ireland, I have friends living there and visit them a couple of times a year.
My first boyfriend registered me to vote at one of his properties in Belfast when I was an undergrad, years after we split up.
His grandfather made his inheritance conditional upon DUP membership; his whole family are uvf affiliated orangemen but he's atheist and lukewarm on ulster loyalism.
This election was pretty much about either stopping Brexit or stopping Corbyn from moving into no 10.
I have totally different values from my parents, their solidarity always seems to be with all the wrong people and factions.
Revolutionary trade unionist socialists embrace a separatist class war agenda, view themselves as heroic warriors battling the bourgeois capitalist state/its human agents, subscribe to an abundance of vicious conspiracy theories and reject the legitimacy of most traditions plus all its institutions (even the police).
My parent's revolutionary views are about as far from mainstream socialism as anyone can get.
Even the more left leaning brand of socialism that advocates nationalisation, banning private schools for all children that don't have special needs and a re-distributive tax agenda.
Ideologically my parents are milometers away from marxism, in my father's case anarcho-communism.
The revolutionary tactics and lifestyle can often come across as cult like and occasionally it is indeed a cult- only with secular leadership, doctrines and alliances instead of religious ones.
My father's ex is a dissident Irish republican; her lifestyle is very like that but she has lightning fast reflexes, usually disappears before trouble starts up and always keeps her gun handy. Knew that she would not be suited to family life, so never had children and carries everything she needs in one bag in case she needs to make a quick getaway.
I've never given her any address but she always manages to find me and so do her birthday gifts.
But there is a sinister element too.
One that evil people with the right connections know precisely how to manipulate to suit their own unpleasant ends.
The healthy adult revolutionaries that choose to play those type of games with their own lives make their decision and that is their freedom to do so.
It often ends like losing a game of high stakes poker; if they break the law, get caught, then they alone are responsible and the consequences are generally severe.
But it is resembles behaviour of a creepy cult to impose that lifestyle upon their children, facilitate known abuser pals/allies desire to deceitfully reestablish contact to replay past events with the very victims who fled to escape from their clutches and adopt a strategy of seeking new recruits amongst the most lonely vulnerable people in society.
Deliberately targeting those that are guaranteed to lose everything and have nobody to help them if they can't intellectually/physically keep up or are unjustly denounced as traitors at an internal level.
These are absolutely unforgivable and something of a habit of my mother's over the last 40 years.
My father is far from blameless, he got my mother immersed in revolutionary trade union socialism and started the cycle.
But at least he learned from some of his past mistakes and he's not the one still doing it.
Long before I was born and long after I cut contact, it's like my mother has made herself wilfully blind to the utter mayhem and misery that she is facilitating in the name of solidarity.
