He was involved with the Maoist faction at the university and a supporter of the Communist Party of Australia (Maoist-Leninist). His interest in politics included the arms race and telecommunications of which he was an advocate of free software. He was an active opponent of Zionism, and was associated with a group called Jews Against Zionism and Anti-Semitism (JAZA). In February 1996 Langer was convicted of urging voters to vote for neither the Australian Labor Party or the Liberal-National coalition by assigning them equal last preferences. He served three weeks in prison for breach of the Electoral Act.
