The mayor of Kabul will remain in power under the Taliban, he told RT, explaining how the Islamic fundamentalist group was able to so easily retake the country and what will now happen to the country's women.
Taliban existed prior to the US invasion. They rose in power after the invasion of the UdSSR.
Obviously they gained even more momentum “thanks” to the US invasion.
It is the logical conclusion of the strategy you propose, imho.
“Before there can be emancipation, they need peace.”
See:
Taliban are at an asymmetrical warfare against women. Women can either fight for emaciation or surrender. Taking an opposing position towards an enemy that targets you by asymmetrical warfare is contrary to peace. You suggest that peace must come before emaciation.
That can only mean, women should surrender to the Taliban.
You seem to think that “fighting for emancipation” is somehow the same as actual war, you know the one with automatic weapons, tanks and air-bombardments?
Sure, you can fight for emancipation during a war, but to reach emancipation you first need peace. A just and equitable society is simply impossible under war conditions.
What about “you can fight for emancipation during a war” do you not understand?
Your are taking those words out of context, because you actually argue for true emancipation you need peace first, and that is nothing but “women rights after the revolution”.
Emancipation is not a mystical end goal, it is a process that takes place whenever someone fights for emancipation. So yes, real emancipation does happen within war too.
How do you believe emancipation within revolutionary situations are going to happen?
Definitely not by peace and somewhen after the revolution but by building solidarity and power.
Why do you always assume some hidden anti-emancipatory agenda?
I don’t. It’s not hidden. It’s just that you seem to not understand the implications of:

There is no peace without emancipation. Asymmetrical warfare, is still warfare.
also if the only solution for Afghanistan you can think of is nationalism, or pan-nationalism you set the bar extremly low.
What you’re saying is basically that women must surrender to have peace in Afghanistan. That is utterly disgusting.
Thats not at all what i’m saying, so dont put any words in my mouth.

If you mean something else, please explain.

Every women that picked up a gun to defend themselves and to defend their sisters is a counter argument to your “women rights after the revolution”
