As you well know (?) most people get involved in politics due to sexual frustration. You only have to read books like Red at Heart : How Chinese Communists fell in Love with the Russian Revolution:-
Moscow at the time could hardly have been more inhospitable. Food was scarce, the climate was unforgiving, and the language was a nearly insurmountable barrier. Stalinist purges were unpredictable and many Chinese students fell afoul of opaque factional rivalries. But for many Chinese visitors, Moscow remained a paradise, where they found inspiration, ideological affinity, friendship and love — not to mention a lot of sex. Escaping the stifling conformity of China was a common theme.
Youngsters join political movements to get laid. They always have!
Ideology is very much a secondary interest which is why so many of us feigned support for feminism.
(Though whether they have any success nowadays when a fumbled advance is viewed by some as tantamount to common assault God knows! In my youth wimmin seemed almost as 'up for it' as males were, and from all the sampling I managed, those 'of the left' much more sexually adventurous.
