Communist era
This sentence appears to me to be a logical contradiction: "While female emancipation was a part of the regime's policy, this policy was introduced mainly to benefit the party rather for any humanist principle."

Female emancipation is central to communism and secularism. The sentence to me seems to imply that communists and secularists only pretend to care about female emancipation. That they only support those things for opportunistic reasons or to be mean to the Islamists and others who don't want female emancipation.

This is typical right-wing tactics. Leftists support X only because it's politically correct. Leftist men support women only to get laid. Paid demonstrators. Crisis actors. Nothing the left does is genuine. 89.253.73.146 (talk) 11:43, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * You can hardly pressume the wikipedia contributor who introduced to that line was an anti communist right wing American rather than a Scandinavian left wing feminist, when they are simply writing what the referenced book say. That line was from the cited reference. The meaning of the book was simply that women's emancipation was introduced to boost membership and participation in the party apparatus, aside from it being a given part of communist party ideology; it did not have its origin based in humanistic compassion with the situation of women in the traditional local Afghan culture. It was done for the benefit of the party, not because there was a great interest in the suffering of women. At least that appears to be what the referenced book mean. The source also point out that there were few women in the top of the party hierarchy: most were at middle and low levels. Of course, that does not in any way change the fact that the Communist Party did much good for the women of Afghanistan, but according to that reference it was foremost for the benefit of the party. Perhaps there are other books that say otherwise. --Aciram (talk) 12:23, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
