Welcome to Retrofuturism, where we peer into yesterday's vision of tomorrow!

Here, the past and the future blur, creating worlds of atomic optimism, looming megacities, flying cars, and clunky computers that promised to change it all.

Our starting point is how to strengthen the fighting vanguard of the working class of which we are a part, so it is better armed to understand the world we live in, to learn from the history of the modern working-class movement, to become more conscious of our strength and historic responsibilities, and to chart a line of march toward overthrowing capitalism and taking political power.

The SWP fights for independent working-class political action in opposition to the parties of the bosses — the Democrats and Republicans.

Official home of the party: https://themilitant.com/

In the spirit of socialism and international solidarity, posts will be shared in both English and Esperanto.

Esperanto represents the ideal of a universal language, breaking down barriers between people of different nations, just as socialism seeks to unite the working class across borders.

Welcome to PC Build Help!

Here you can make posts asking for PC tech support from fellow users, or simply ask for advice on how to part out and build a computer.

When making a post, be as descriptive as possible or provide imagery or video that accurately displays your problem. If you're asking for build advice, please include a PCPartPicker link.

Please remain civil and on topic.

A community for camera collectors. Film & Vintage Digital cameras are all welcome.

Do:

• Share highlights from your collection. Sample photos encouraged.
• Share your latest vintage camera finds.
• Share relevant links.
• Ask for help or advice about vintage cameras.

Don't:

• Please don't ask for appraisals. Just go check eBay "sold" listings.
• No Buy/sell/trade posts. Stick to DMs for that, and do so at your own risk.

This is a community where those who seek to be manipulative or discuss manipulation can come to discuss themselves and ways they bent norms and rules. If that sounds crazy to you, there is a rationale and it isn't necessarily illegal or immoral, in fact it's arguably the opposite. Suppose you live in a world where you are everyone's target, and they're willing to engage in hypocrisy if it means fulfilling this. You cannot fight back, you are only one individual and you will lose. You cannot leave. You cannot stand to sit through it. What do you do? You find loopholes and put their tactics in such a position that they are fooled or swayed against each other. Imagine there are anonymous reporters who falsely report both SWAT and the CPS on you. Though this example is borderline illegal, as is reporting them on you, a machiavellian is the one who puts them in a position where they meet up in your home and go after each other. Machiavellianism is the martial arts of the mind, the Karate Kid for people who cannot rely on their bodies. Please note that, in order to honor Lemmy, anything that's actually aligned with criminality will be banned, as will the posters.
