I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this? Like is it my priority in everything I do?
Doing right by my wife and kids and also our siblings and their kids and partners and our non-alienated parents are my primary priorities, followed by minimizing the harm I do to those around me as I do the things necessary to survive in capitalism. The things I determine to be helpful for those goals are definitely determined by my politics though. Like I want my kids to grow up to be good people (and consider contributing to that to be a significant part of doing right by them), and my conception of a good person is informed by being a communist.
I guess the answer is probably no- my primary identity is probably something like "middle-aged dad."
I think you caught my drift
