>Comes Autumn, every white-collar employee would remember where their gum boots, gloves and rain gear are - they were about to be sent to harvest potato and other vegetables, and no gear was provided. Once again, no discrimination on gender basis - a Ph.D.-qualified mother of three would go just as well, leaving the kid for her husband who would do the next 2-week shift.

>There were no concepts like resume, there were no employment agents. In a bus you would see an ad inviting you to become a bus driver - and that about it. Practically any job, except for a graduate position after a college, was found through your network.

>After receiving free education (with an extra serve of mandatory indoctrination, and military training if male), one was supposed to work for three years where told.

>The behavior of recruiters talking to fresh graduates makes Western used car dealers look honest. Me and my mate were promised to be sent to the space station, in addition to medals and housing, if we just sign on the dotted line that we agree to work in the particular "Box"

>There was a universally understood term "to work in a box", as been employed by an organisation that is to be referred by its PO Box number.

>The need for our agreement (which we refused to give) was due to rather unique circumstances. In general it would be quite close to a slave market - graduates would go where told.

I'd love for all the leftypol NEETS on this board to wake up in the soviet union and be assigned to the coal mines.

At this point it's a meme.

Pure Memery.

In 1996, an amateur archaeologist found a single upper arm bone sticking out of the steep riverbank—the first clue that the Tollense Valley, about 120 kilometers north of Berlin, concealed a gruesome secret. A flint arrowhead was firmly embedded in one end of the bone, prompting archaeologists to dig a small test excavation that yielded more bones, a bashed-in skull, and a 73-centimeter club resembling a baseball bat. The artifacts all were radiocarbon-dated to about 1250 B.C.E., suggesting they stemmed from a single episode during Europe’s Bronze Age.

Now, after a series of excavations between 2009 and 2015, researchers have begun to understand the battle and its startling implications for Bronze Age society. Along a 3-kilometer stretch of the Tollense River, archaeologists from the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Department of Historic Preservation (MVDHP) and the University of Greifswald (UG) have unearthed wooden clubs, bronze spearheads, and flint and bronze arrowheads. They have also found bones in extraordinary numbers: the remains of at least five horses and more than 100 men. Bones from hundreds more may remain unexcavated, and thousands of others may have fought but survived.

“If our hypothesis is correct that all of the finds belong to the same event, we’re dealing with a conflict of a scale hitherto completely unknown north of the Alps,” says dig co-director Thomas Terberger, an archaeologist at the Lower Saxony State Service for Cultural Heritage in Hannover. “There’s nothing to compare it to.” It may even be the earliest direct evidence—with weapons and warriors together—of a battle this size anywhere in the ancient world.

Northern Europe in the Bronze Age was long dismissed as a backwater, overshadowed by more sophisticated civilizations in the Near East and Greece. Bronze itself, created in the Near East around 3200 B.C.E., took 1000 years to arrive here. But Tollense’s scale suggests more organization—and more violence—than once thought. “We had considered scenarios of raids, with small groups of young men killing and stealing food, but to imagine such a big battle with thousands of people is very surprising,” says Svend Hansen, head of the German Archaeological Institute’s (DAI’s) Eurasia Department in Berlin. The well-preserved bones and artifacts add detail to this picture of Bronze Age sophistication, pointing to the existence of a trained warrior class and suggesting that people from across Europe joined the bloody fray.

There’s little disagreement now that Tollense is something special. “When it comes to the Bronze Age, we’ve been missing a smoking gun, where we have a battlefield and dead people and weapons all together,” says University College Dublin (UCD) archaeologist Barry Molloy. “This is that smoking gun.”

The lakeside hunting lodge called Schloss Wiligrad was built at the turn of the 19th century, deep in a forest 14 kilometers north of Schwerin, the capital of the northern German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Today, the drafty pile is home to both the state’s department of historic preservation and a small local art museum.

In a high-ceilinged chamber on the castle’s second floor, tall windows look out on a fog-shrouded lake. Inside, pale winter light illuminates dozens of skulls arranged on shelves and tables. In the center of the room, long leg bones and short ribs lie in serried ranks on tables; more remains are stored in cardboard boxes stacked on metal shelves reaching almost to the ceiling. The bones take up so much space there’s barely room to walk.

When the first of these finds was excavated in 1996, it wasn’t even clear that Tollense was a battlefield. Some archaeologists suggested the skeletons might be from a flooded cemetery, or that they had accumulated over centuries.

There was reason for skepticism. Before Tollense, direct evidence of large-scale violence in the Bronze Age was scanty, especially in this region. Historical accounts from the Near East and Greece described epic battles, but few artifacts remained to corroborate these boastful accounts. “Even in Egypt, despite hearing many tales of war, we never find such substantial archaeological evidence of its participants and victims,” UCD’s Molloy says.

It was probably a meme plan cooked up by some nazi officials which had absolutely no impact on nazi policy, kind of like the USA has military plans in case of a Cuban invasion, but it's since been blown up by propaganda.

>>1692011
it did exist, but just like the holocaust, escalated in stages as the war went on. From deportations across the Urals to denying civilians access to food and water, then finally to outright elimination.

plenty of primary sources on the hunger plan and the ultimate designs for Eastern Europe are out there for reading. saying it was never a plan is just as indefensible as saying the Wehrmacht was clean and uninvolved in the execution of German's new world order.

Then again, I have no earthly clue why Wheraboos try to deny or refute plans to eliminate the slavs or jews, it would stand to reason that they would be proud that 26 million+ slavs died at the hands of the true masters of this world, as they think.

Yes, because I've read opinions that 'this was why Stalin was so ruthless with the Ruskies, because he knew this was the endgame'... and I wondered if this really did affect the decisions, but it seems it did not.

Shit, that's actually a good question. Maybe they had better access to papyrus and that kept them from using clay tablets as often.

Because it didn't survive.

But why hasn't Gaesatae metaphysical poetry survived?

Like what?

State has monopoly on violence.

Corporations are controlled by CEOs who know what they are doind and follows the market aka an actual democratic way to decide what is valuable and good and what isn't. The market is good and the state opress the market and the capitalists, therefore it is bad and should be destroyed.

I figured but that seems like a weak answer, since all it really means is that a state is an overwhelmingly power corperation.

A meme which stems from a lack of knowledge.

Some weird Latin American 'Catholics' are definitely polytheists and idolaters. Run of the mill Catholicism does not practice paganism as it ascribes to God unity and singularity of essence.

>>1687392
It's usually a conflation of prayer and worship. Catholics don't worship anyone other than God. It's doctrinal. Prayer to saints isn't worship.

Pontifex Maximus was the "King of Heathendom," the evil high priest of the pagan mystery religion of Rome.

Though it may be abbreviated into Pope or Papa, yet it's clearly a title inherited directly from paganism.

It's also obvious to any historian that while the Catholics have called themselves Christians, they more closely resemble the ancient pagans both in customs and names. Pope Gregory I (601 AD) said in so many words literally, "We must compromise with the pagans in order to further Christianity.".
