Infamously on the gates of the Auschwitz concentration camp.

@SoL-JoS, please be careful with that phrase in that usage due to connotations.

Actually, that phrase focused on German industrial workers during WWII; it had nothing to do with the concentration camps. The phrase was invented by the SS to instill harder work ethic in the factories.

General life update:

Looking about at jobs here, and it seems like the best paying things I have a background in are managing tasting rooms at a vineyard (benefits, commissions), waiting tables at a fancy place downtown (rather seasonal, fast money via tips, but no benefits, or else working in the cannabis business, at a dispensary. Not a lot of academic/library related things way up here, as I kinda expected. This far north along the lake, the main businesses tend to center around tourism, and high end agriculture: vineyards, hops fields, orchards; micro-breweries, places that are related to weed.

Not nearly as many young people here as there used to be; I forgot that as the midwest has entered the rust belt era, a lot of younger people have left along with it. Folks here seem to be @Keefur 's age, as if that was possible :p Exaggerating, but moving from a dense urban area with a lot of universities and colleges, the lay of the land in a rural area is a lot different.

I think, Ideally, I would like to spend 6 months in Baltimore, enjoying city life, and summer here in the cooler climes of Michigan whilst it is hot and muggy there. if I were suddenly come into piles of money, and be able to afford two places....it's very beautiful here; lakes, rivers, forests and amazing for outdoors things, but culturally, I can see it being challenging, to carve out a niche. That, and I have seen a few rather scary rednecks....even saw a confederate flag on a truck, which is something that I had never seen in Maryland, nor even here, in the past...it had me ponder getting a handgun; I never felt the need of one, despite the crime of the city, but in such a remote place, it may be incumbent to procure one. Have pondered a Colt Detective Special/Snub Nose .38/ have always liked how small these are, and their mystique in old detective films...perhaps after getting things established; first comes a skunk suit, and a few other things!!!!

I wish you the absolute best of luck with job-hunting!
Also, Colts are really expensive and the quality has gone downhill over the last decade. For a personal firearm that you can easily conceal without sacrificing too much stopping power and precision (and without killing your wallet), I'd recommend an M&P Shield XD or any of the compact Rugers.

Thanks, and have started a few resumes, one for one of the larger/older wineries here, another for a weed grower/dispensary; have also pondered looking into growing permits, as demand has been brisk, and I've always had a green thumb!

Ah, those new Colts did seem kinda pricey; have looked at older ones, mostly. There's a great appeal to the detective special from a vintage/retro aspect to me, I guess I'm the sort who will probably sacrifice a bit just to have something that looks pretty and old. And the shape and size are nice. I'd be using it for target practice, and just to look at, really. I will have to Google small handguns, used in movies of the 1930s-1950s : P

I have a Ruger LCR, and I can't hit the broad side of a barn with it. :D

My knowledge of that time period (Especially in Pre-Bolshevik Russia) is rather limited but I think I could help bit later as it's late for me now. Dm me if you want to talk.

And thanks @SoL-JoS
More unpaid labour is always appreciated <.<

The most developed theory over this is that the bolchevik party won over the soviets thanks to the Red army
leaded by Trotsky, eradicating the emergent democracy on Russia, and constituting the end of the private property

Here we would have to break Communism apart to details and it will take hours. I can just tell you that there is second to no difference in Bolshevik and Soviet party. After all it was a Soviet Socialst Republics and Soviet Russia, not Bulshevik Russia.
And that democracy was eradicated during bloody revolution during The Great War which eventually knocked Russia out from war. It was the Red Army (which only appeared) during Bolshevik revolution. Red Soviet Army and White Russian Imperial army. Therefore this so called Red Army was not army yet just bunch of unionized workers.
Keep in mind that I do not know which period are you ultimately talking about cause everything took a place during Seminal Catastrophe (and just few years before that)

As I said, hit me on DMs if you want to talk more about it, this is no time nor place. Just keep in mind that I am not ace in early XX century
And one more thing, do not look only at Russia. Ohhh boy, this thing was heated up around entire Europe as Communism was not only there.


P.S - Democracy? In Imperial Russia?
