I used to have surprisingly good responses on tinder by starting the discussion with "what's your opinion on Palestine?"
Most didn't have one but almost everyone responded and gave a good indication of their values with it (this obviously depends strongly on your area)
"Women hold up half the sky" would probably fly under the radar for most libs, and if they recognize it, they are most likely going to be annoying
Prompt: I won't shut up about
Answer: seizing the means of production
"I enjoy reading my little red book."
All cats are beautiful. Women hold up half the sky. How much is a coat?
Could put in some names that only communists would know but also have not been subjects of anticommunist propaganda. The average liberal will gloss over them but a communist will spot it right away.
"Rosa Luxemburg fan" or "Slavoj Zizek enjoyer", things like that are going to stand out to a communist or anarchist but are barely going to be noticed at all by your average liberal as they won't have a clue who they are.
I did a bit about adding "inspiring eco terrorist" to my dating profile a while back.
Obviously it was a bit... and parody.. a joke.

Death to NATO :bean:
dont date liberals its bad for your soul. it will burn you from the inside./hj
also if you put communist or anarchist in your bio liberals will want to date you much much more.
I love to explain to the "progressive" liberal that no, actually, I don't think their dreams of being a landlord cool and good, and they're a lot less "left" than they thought they were.
'Swipe left to support capitalism!' Was in my tinder bio years ago when that kinda phrasing was popular on the apps.
Mine just says queer anticapitalist poly. Folks get the hint. The worst I ever get with that is Warren libs but they can be fixed.
Enjoyer of finer things in life such as vuvuzelas, not having an iPhone, sharing toothbrushes, visiting the Animal Farm, and gifting a pickaxe to close friends.
Edit: misplacing chains
Why can't I use hexbear emotes in my bio
Maybe something about linen and coats?
"Stalin didn't go far enough"
I think any sort of play on "workers of the world unite!" Or even a conspicuously placed use of the word "union" would trigger my leftist alarm.
you could add a reference to the Internationale
include at least one incriminating image of you doing direct action
But for real, depending on the politics of where you live, you could maybe get by with identifying as an "anticapitalist" or "abolitionist" in your bio. If bumble still does the prompts, you could provide a goofy, semi- (or fully) genuine leftist answer to something. I was very forward with my politics and I wouldn't hold back from posting silly/annoying things in my profile, like "If I could eat only one meal for the rest of my life it would be… billionaire after billionaire after billionaire"
"No bigots"
"Pro-union" is the only thing I can think of that isn't unnecessarily long in the typical leftist meme way.
Something something means of reproduction
Beans beans beans beans beans beans
Maybe something ironic that another leftist would understand. I like telling people my dream is to start a misogynistic podcast in Miami Beach
'1917 was a good year'
🇨🇳🇻🇳 What similarities do these two have?
Works a lot better if you're East Asian cause everybody will think it's just your race cause minorities sexualizing themselves to be exotic is so common
Liberals might also just think oh, they border each other, or they're both Asian, they're both manufacturing hubs for the West, etc.
I feel like nobody ever associates Vietnam with communism other than communists
Note I've never done this or used any dating app lol
