Socialist Youth's National Summer Festival CAPITALISM MEANS PROFIT BEFORE PEOPLE
All across the world, the rights and living standards of young people and workers are coming under constant attack by the bosses and their lackeys in government. Young people are being forced to work for low pay bosses, where they have little or no rights. The attacks on the rights of workers are being graphically illustrated by the super-exploitation of migrant workers, which is being used to drive down the wages and conditions of all workers.
This drive to maximise profits is what capitalism is all about. The needs of people are never prioritised. This leads not only to attacks on our rights but to war, as shown by the continuing occupation of Iraq and US imperialism's threats against Iran. This capitalist system is also posing massive dangers to our environment.
YOUNG PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING BACK
Latin America is now a continent in revolt, as young people and workers are continuing their resistance to the domination of big businesss, which has resulted in an enormous increase in poverty in the region. Presidents have been toppled as millions have poured onto the streets, putting socialism back onto the agenda.
Across Europe, there have been general strikes in a number of countries as struggle re-emerges. This shows that young people are not simple victims of the capitalist profit system but are now getting active to defend their rights.
COME TO THE SUMMER FESTIVAL
Socialist Youth has organised this Summer festival as an event where young people can come to discuss the ideas raised above as well as the issues that affect them. Along with discussion and debate, you'll also get to chance to relax and enjoy yourself with music, BBQs, film showings, football and lots more. It's an event that you cannot afford to miss, this Summer,
