I managed to "convert" my psuedo-girlfriend into becoming a communist or a communist sympathizer, years ago. Hopefully that helps inspire you.
I tell her all the time my opinions about current events, and she likes to listen to me "lecture" about history, politics and about the struggle between communism and capitalism. She mostly agrees with my opinions, or at least understands my point of view.
She's also very supportive or at least willing to consider the long-term plans of us moving to China, together with my family. She loves my idea of us having a house in Shanghai and/or possibly Chengdu, her primary concerns are the flooding and earthquakes.
I'm hoping next year to start seriously learning and hunkering down and taking classes or courses in learning Mandarin or consulting immigration lawyers. My family and I are poor AF but I'm very hopeful.
Anyway, my girl hasn't mentioned the Israeli genocide of Palestinians, but she is well aware of my opinions. I think our only point of contention was when the Ukraine/Russia SMO began, but I eventually got her to at least somewhat understand the neoliberal lies and slander aimed at Russia and how Ukraine/NATO/the U.S. started this conflict.
