Wanted: Climate Researcher to Write Extreme Weather Just-So Stories to Serve Up to Credulous Media Wed Jul 24, 2024 07:00 | Chris Morrison
If you wondered where the MSM get all their lurid stories attributing 'extreme weather' to climate change, look no further than a new job ad for a "researcher" focused on creating alarmist propaganda, says Chris Morrison.

Porsche has scrapped its sales targets for EVs amid a slump in demand. A previous goal of 80% by 2030 has been watered down and the company now says sales will depend on uptake and how the technology develops.

?Mission-Driven? Government is the Antithesis of Liberty Tue Jul 23, 2024 17:30 | Dr David McGrogan
Labour is "mission-driven", says Keir Starmer. But the last thing anyone should want is a Government with a mission, says David McGrogan. That's because a Government with a mission needs conscripts. That's you and me.

Joe Higgins speaks on 'Che and fight against capitalism today'

limerick | anti-capitalism | event notice

Monday April 06, 2009 22:46

by Limerick Socialist - SP

Report this post to the editors

Joe Higgins, Socialist Party TD 1997-2007, will be in Limerick on Thursday for a public meeting at 8pm in Pery’s Hotel, Glentworth Street. Speaking about his recent travels to Latin America making the documentary ‘Che’ he will focus on the movements he saw against neoliberal, free market policies in Latin America today and their relevance for people in Ireland.

Joe Higgins has been a prominent campaigner for workers’ rights in Ireland and a key figure in the anti-Lisbon campaign in which he highlighted issues such as workers’ rights, privatisation and the EU's neo-liberal policies. The meeting will offer the opportunity to discuss Che Guevara's life as well as current events in Latin America and in Ireland with Joe and to hear his analysis.

Joe's new TG4 documentary follows Che’s first trip around Latin America, the 'motorcycle diaries' and examines the legacy Che has left and how his ideals influence current movements and struggles against exploitation and imperialism in Latin America.

Che was a tiredless fighter for ordinary people whose socialist ideas are now inspiring mass movement's. While travelling through Latin America Joe Higgins saw how it is truly a continent in revolt. Every day there are protests and strikes. Particularly relevant for Ireland are the cases, some of which Joe saw himself, where workers threatened with redundancy have occupied and run their workplace, and fought for it to be nationalised. This is just one of many ways in which the ideas of Che are alive and well in Latin America, and how we in Ireland can learn from those struggles.

In fact, with the government stepping up their vicious attacks on workers and the poor in their new, 'mini-budget', the need for people in Ireland to learn from the example's in Latin America has never been greater.

The meeting will take place at 8pm on Thursday April 9th in Pery’s Hotel on Glentworth Street.
