It's not just the taliban but Afghans in general. Many of them are veterans of the Afghan war against the communism.
The foundations of the conflict were laid by the Saur Revolution, a 1978 coup wherein Afghanistan's communist party took power, initiating a series of radical modernization and land reforms throughout the country. These reforms were deeply unpopular among the more traditional rural population and established power structures. The repressive nature of the "Democratic Republic", which vigorously suppressed opposition and executed thousands of political prisoners, led to the rise of anti-government armed groups; by April 1979, large parts of the country were in open rebellion. / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet–Afghan_War
Same pattern: Communists revolt > organise a coup > take power > introduce "reforms" > kill or imprison opposition. Commies are the same everywhere.
Commies had taken over Afghanistan and the Afghan people fought a war to successfully take their country back.
