    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.

      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”

        What about “you can fight for emancipation during a war” do you not understand?

        Why do you always assume some hidden anti-emancipatory agenda? I never said nor implied “women rights after the revolution”.

          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:

          Before there can be emancipation, they need peace.

            By your logic emancipation happens now under the Taliban too, because somewhere someone is probably still fighting for it under Taliban rule.

            Just fighting for it is insufficient for reaching any kind of approximation of what an emancipatory society would look like. That is not a “mystical goal” but the reality that for emancipation to happen it has to be accepted and lived by more than just the small female fighting group you reference.
