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.

Che Guevara was a mass murderer. He didn't give a tinkers damn about people or social justice. He was simply a murderer. Just like islamofascists use Islam as an excuse to murder and kill Che used socialism. The people that run this site are simply the ill informed sheep that buy the propaganda. Ask anyone (other than the elites) that have lived in a socialist country what it was like. Socialism is merely a way to further protect the elites and keep them far above the peasants they control. Show me 1 place with a socialist system where this is not the case. Citizens living in these countries are many times more repressed than those living under capitalism.

I take issue with your description of Guevara as representative of struggle.

It is true, however, that most people's only knowledge of the man was that he was in a movie called the motorcycle diaries. It appears as though this is your authors only reference point too.

You fail to mention anything of his role within Cuba which saw many thousand's of ideologically opposed killed.

Particularly hypocritical of the SP to be using Che given that they have always, rightly, opposed Cuba as a Stalinist dictatorship and indeed I am old enough to recall when appearing in a Che tee shirt would earn you a right bollicking off the Militant comrades as then was! Ironic too in that there is no way that the SP would be allowed organise a public meeting in Cuba itself.
