Afghanistan after the fall of Kabul: Is the war over?

Written by Alan Woods Monday, 10 October 2016

This contrasts starkly with what was being said by the bourgeois media and politicians back in 2001 with their rejoicing at the final end of the rule of the Taliban. Alan Woods explained at the time that, “…even if a ‘national unity’ government is formed, it will not take long to disintegrate into a government of national dis-unity. Once again, matters will be resolved, not in the corridors of parliament, but in the streets and in the mountains.” Events since then have amply confirmed the Marxist analysis.
