I find it especially ironic that Islamists, who claim to be reactionaries yet are nothing but impotent conservatives: the loyal servants of of capital, have exacerbated the social ills of bourgeois society which they claimed to oppose.
Islamists in my country used to attack communists for "promoting prostitution" and the "community of women" (women owned in common) this was refuted by Marx as early as the Manifesto who pointed to the hypocrisy of this accusation, nevertheless what happened once Islamists captured power with the backing of multinational capital and the petty bourgeoisie? Public prostitution became prevalent and organized, an underground industry run by this new bourgeoisie. Religious cities became brothels that people cross oceans for, with the blessings of God and law - prostitution became holy "temporary" marriage, a market fueled by endless victims of poverty, austerity and war.
As for private prostitution (marriage) civil marriage was de facto abolished and with it any concessions offered to the woman, communists used to rally against the payment offered to the woman's family to consummate the marriage arguing that it is a form of commodification, this has now became the standard practice, cementing the woman's role as a commodity first, prompting her to rot until she is inevitably sold rather than take her own path in life.
The separation of genders have twisted the view of women to be mere objects of sexual gratification rather than real conscious beings. This view twisted further by pornagrahy; the consumption rates of which is amongst the highest in the world despite being banned and labelled taboo. Naturally the rates of harassment and rape have also increased despite bullying women into suppressing their every feminine character.
I suppose eventually it became convenient to lift any ostensible restrictions around this commodity, and so the age of marriage was lowered to 9 in order to save them from degeneracy of celibacy.
Now believe me when I say I don't shutter at the 'immorality and injustice' of any of this for the commodification of women and children is entirely within the logic of capitalism, in this extreme case it has only been elevated into a more public form under the guise of God, the only way to abolish it remains to be by abolishing all class distinctions.
The point of this post is more so to point to the hypocrisy of conservatives who purport to oppose the prevailing social order while all they do is enforce it over the bodies of workers, this is not to speak of the drug trade, crippling economic inequality, privatization, etc all have flourished under these religious charlatans.

>ignore the inter-imperialist context of picrel
No I won't. Fuck you. The Taliban are abhorrent but they are not fucking imperialist.
>>2677306How's the Soviets killing a billion Afghan to save le democracy any different from the US?
>ignore the inter-imperialist context of picrel
how to make everyone disregard the prior wall of text
>>2677310Sorry but Afghan workers deserve to live and flourish rather than be turned into red mist regardless of the pretext and le freedmons and democracy and other stuff your McDonald's school taught you
>>2677312<the Soviets who intervened on the behalf of the socialist regime that kept the women in the pic armed and out of trash bags were actually heckin imperialists o algoEnjoy your niqabs
Leftists will regret making so many concessions for the islamist retards.
>>2677308Because the US economic system is based on extracting the maximum amount of labour and resources possible from target countries while simultaneously stifling their development and preventing any efforts for them to exercise economic sovereignty. The Soviet Union did the opposite of this by subsidizing the long term economic development of their allies at their own expense. If the US had succeeded in Afghanistan they would have worked to make sure it remained underdeveloped and backward while extracting its mineral resources like they did in Latin America. If the Soviets had succeeded they would have ensured its industrialization, urbanization, and electrification like they did in Eastern Europe.
Not to mention that the Soviets were baited into Afghanistan by American provocations specifically calculated to elicit a military response from the Soviets. The Americans were in Afghanistan because the jihadists they armed and trained turned on them to retaliated against their already established aggression in the Middle East.
>it's not imperialism because the people's puppet state supported it against insurgency
The northern alliance supported the US invasion against insurgency 😹
MLibs try not to justify US imperialism by justifying your red liberal state imperialism challenge = impossible
Reminder that no communist can take 'islamophobia' seriously. The retarded belief system of Islam will ridiculed in the same way any other religion is.
>>2677321It's not imperialism because imperialism is an economic system which the did not exist in the foreign relations of the USSR.
>>2677316>>2677322The takeaway is Islamists worst crime isn't that they're reactionaries, it is precisely the opposite, they're liberals under the cloak of the clergy and it no wonder they enjoyed the support of the west even those posing as its enemies nowadays.
