Dramatic evidence has been published in a number of recent science papers that CO2 levels are already?'saturated', meaning little or no further warming is to be expected and rising CO2 levels are all beneficial.

It isn't so much that the Tories are getting more popular as that Labour is getting less so. Which illustrates a more general predicament for the Tories and any other party that might have aspirations to government.

40 Years since Che Guevara's Death

category international | anti-capitalism | press release author Monday July 09, 2007 12:53author by Limerick Socialist Youth - Socialist Youthauthor email socialistyouth at hotmail dot comauthor address Limerickauthor phone 086-8064801 Report this post to the editors

Come to RESISTANCE!

This year is the 40th anniversary of the murder of Che Guevara by the CIA in Bolivia. Che was in Bolivia trying to assist the revolution taking place there when he was captured and shot, his last words apparently being “Shoot, coward, you’re going to kill a man”.

Che Guevara’s legacy and the struggle for socialism in Latin America today will by discussed at a upcoming forum on the 21st of July in Limerick. The event titled ‘RESISTANCE’ is to take place between 1 and 6 upstairs in Riddlers Bar and is organised by Socialist Youth.
1928 - 1967
1928 - 1967

Richard Manton a member of SY said “Che was a heroic participant in the struggle against US imperialism and capitalism. He played a key role in the Cuban revolution which led to massive improvements in the education and healthcare of Cuba. He also grew deeply critical of the lack of workers democracy in the USSR"

The film “The Motor Cycle Diaries” about Che’s youth as well as the continued use of his famous image means that Che is still a symbol of struggle. Also a recent exhibition here in Limerick celebrating Che’s visit to the city in 1965 was a huge success.

Che’s picture has been seen on protests through-out the world, from Iraq and Lebannon on to the USA and Venezuela. His ideas still inspire people throughout the world, particularly Latin America where there has been recent uprising in Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Brazil, Argentina and Nicaragua. A number of left-leaning presidents have also been elected there.

NOTE: This topic will also be discussed in Dublin on the 21st and Cork and Galway on the 28th.
