It sure is funny how in my country, lots of "communist" activists make money selling Che Guevara shirts.
True, but the official reason why we were in Afghanistan after 2001 was "nation-building". Burning down swathes of the Afghan countryside wouldn't have "built" a nation. It would just have built resentment towards the US - in the same way a lot of the anti-Northern sentiment after the war was down to Sherman's March to the Sea.
This comic, honestly, never misses:

It's déjà vu all over again.
Not all publicity is good publicity. Case in point - one of AOC's fellow leftists Ilhan Omar, said that 9/11 was when "some people did something". Did this mean that Omar became known across the US? Yes. Did this mean that people were more likely to support Omar and AOC's brand of progressivism? No.
Yeah, I have to doubt that.
Soviet Russia adopted feminist policies (partly as a way of weakening the Orthodox Church and partly because it doubled the size of its workforce)
well before Western women started burning bras. It was still a "threat to the common security of the world". The Taliban government isn't really a threat to the security of the world, in any case. They hate Daesh (and the hatred's mutual - I remember seeing a guy talk about how Daesh call the Taliban "lackeys of the Crusaders" and "infidels" because they practice different denominations of Sunni Islam) and are more concerned with policing their own country than doing another 9/11.
I think I can guess what AOC's on the verge of posting right now:
