    The State & Revolution

    Vladimir Lenin

    This foundational political work by Vladimir Lenin examines the true nature of the state and its role as an instrument of class power rather than a neutral force serving all people equally. Challenging comforting ideas about government, law, and democracy, it argues that the state exists primarily to protect the interests of the ruling class and to suppress those beneath it. What appears as order and stability is revealed as controlled force shaped by economic domination. 
    Lenin traces how revolutions do not simply change leaders, but must dismantle the existing machinery of power itself. He confronts the illusion that injustice can be reformed away without breaking the structures that sustain it. Compromise is exposed as a trap, and gradual change as a delay that serves those already in control. The question is not whether the state should exist in its current form, but whether it must be replaced entirely in order for real liberation to occur. 
    With sharp urgency and uncompromising logic, Vladimir Lenin explores power, authority, class struggle, and the conditions required for genuine social transformation. This work is both a political warning and a strategic blueprint, revealing how deeply embedded systems resist change and how easily freedom is promised but withheld. It remains a forceful meditation on revolution, control, and the dangerous illusion of power that claims to serve everyone equally.

    Did you know that the Vikings from Norway were the first to inhabit Greenland? 
    They were also the first people to settle in Iceland and the Faroes Islands. They also founded the first true cities of Ireland. Although Vikings are a huge part of the history of Norway, the era in which they lived was very short. 
    Norway wasn’t a defined country or even a region in its early history. It was geographically, culturally, and linguistically inseparable from the rest of Scandinavia. Therefore, its history is deeply influenced by not only its inhabitants but also its neighbors. 
    Norway is a unique country located on the fringes of Europe. Its climate and geographical position determined the lifestyle of the people inhabiting it. It was never an easy life. The constant scarcity of arable land, the vast distances they had to traverse due to the myriad of fjords and mountains, and the long and harsh winters in the inland areas made Norwegians constantly struggle for a better life. 
    Norway was also often a target of much stronger neighboring kingdoms, mainly Denmark and Sweden. From the 16th to 19th centuries, Norway was part of a union with first Denmark and then Sweden. None of the unions was a Norwegian choice. And even though the people were aware of the deep connection they shared with the rest of Scandinavia, they had a distinctive Norwegian identity. It was this identity that pushed Norway to fight for its independence. 
    You will find out:Where did the first Norwegians come from?How did the early Bronze Age societies live in the harsh environment of Scandinavia?Why did the Iron Age come so late to Scandinavia?Were the Vikings simply pirates or farmers with a higher cause?How did the Vikings live, and who were the first Norwegian chieftains?And much more

    The Necessary Journey - Making...

    "What does a workplace utopia look like to you?" This is the question Dr. Ella F. Washington asks company leaders, and often she hears about an ideal vision of an organization that values diversity and inclusion and wants employees to bring their whole selves to work. 
     
     
     
    But how can you get there? Organizations have largely missed the mark when it comes to creating environments where all employees thrive in an equal and equitable way, because they treat diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as a program that gets done rather than the necessary and difficult journey it is. 
     
     
     
    The road to an inclusive workplace is a difficult one, but you can traverse it, and there's help along the way. Start here with stories of companies making the necessary journey, including Slack, PwC, Best Buy, Denny's, and many others. Hear from company leaders about their successes and failures, the times they were on the vanguard, and the moments they realized they had much more work to do. These are profiles in perseverance from people who are keen enough to recognize the need for inclusive workplaces and humble enough to know they're not there yet. Along the way, Washington provides a framework for thinking about where these companies are on their journeys and where you and your company may be too.
