Rally is another word for meeting I presume.

Rally sounds more exciting though?

Not quite

There are a number of different types of meetings at the festival.

Most of them have a speaker or two and then an open discussion. A couple of them are set piece debates between platform speakers, also with a discussion afterwards. Two of the meetings will not have the usual open discussion and are thus described as "rallies".

Real socialism can only be achieved with freedom

What about the cause of Irish Freedom - You cant have real socialism without freeom. So i presume socialist youth support the irish republican cause?

no real socialism without freedom, say the republicans..

No real freedom under any state lads be it 32 county or otherwise.

Sounds like they are trying tho challenge it. Maybe some of the Nordy Twin Cam Boys from the Rally could come down and sort out this political rally.

Paranoia?

Where do people get the idea that Socialist Youth are trying to compete with Feile an Phobail? Or is it just another childish excuse to 'have a go' at political rivals?
