One who consumes large amounts of alcoholis beverages in the hopes of ending the night in the company of a sexual partner, a macht's behavior is further compounded with the use of cannabis eventually leading to a series of blunt sexual advances. A macht should never at all costs be fed psychedelics due to adverse reactions such as nudity, self fondling and general chaos!!!

Correct interpretation is "Work sets you free" rather than direct from German "Work makes free" which does not make sense in English.

Commonly used over the gates of concentration camps.

Get the arbeit macht frei mug.
German for "The Will to Power." A book written by Friedrich Nietzsche that was published post-humously. It fits in with his usual philosophy that humans can achieve anything once they free themselves from the restraints of religion and morals.
The original language of "Der Wille zur Macht" is obviously German.

Get the Der Wille zur Macht mug.
( a modern variation of the Arbeit macht frei sign that once stood above the gates to Auschwitz): a phrase meaning, in modern--as opposed to Nazi German--not "work makes free" in Nazi German, but rather "work makes people free", in neo-modern German
although i -- as a Jew of German and Polish descent, and above all a History major, but never as a yidiot-- perfectly understand that the phrase Arbeit macht Menschen frei can, and will be deemed, offensive by most Jews, I have arrogated myself the right (for exactly the reasons previously mentioned ) to re-use this phrase in a somewhat different political/cultural/socio-cultural zeitgeist.

How I would personally use the phrase Arbeit macht menschen frei is somewhat unconventional: I would have to say that "work (even a minimum wage job in the United States in the post 2016 US presidential election worldview) makes people (i.e anti-Trump anarchists shit-disturbers) free (from Obamaganda and incompetently planned and carried out Obamanomics".

The most rational, (atm-at the moment-) pro-civic society action that these immoral and amoral, hedonistic, anti-civics, deplorable, pigvilizing anarchists can take, is to drive yourself away, get a real minimum wage job and get over the fact that their candidate lost; after a hard day's work, these losers, hopefully, wouldn't have the time, money or energy to violently protest and destroy property, thus not taking the rest of civilised society to hell in a hand basket along with them.
