- Alaska is by far the largest state of the United States of America by land area. Nicknamed “the last frontier”, Alaska is sparsely populated with a harsh climate but incredible scenery. Separated from the “lower 48” by Canada, Alaska can be a challenging destination; most of the state is in the Arctic. Besides vast forests and frozen tundra, Alaska contains the ten highest mountain peaks in the United States, including Denali, the highest in all of North America.

- The Communist Manifesto (Wikipedia)
The Communist Manifesto (German: Das Kommunistische Manifest), originally the Manifesto of the Communist Party (Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei), is a political pamphlet written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, commissioned by the Communist League and originally published in London in 1848. The text is the first and most systematic attempt by Marx and Engels to codify for widespread consumption the core historical materialist idea that, as stated in the text’s opening words, “the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles”, in which social classes are defined by the relationship of people to the means of production. Published against the backdrop of the Revolutions of 1848 and their subsequent repression across Europe, the Manifesto remains one of the world’s most influential political documents.
