A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc.

You're right ... there are many forms of cancer that might be more harder to 'cure' or manage. Age also plays a role and it is generally agreed that as we age, the body inevitably just breaks down and eventually will start developing cancers no matter what we do in very advanced age. But the majority of all cancers we now live with are mostly all preventable and many of the ones that aren't preventable could be treated. In a utopian world, we would manage all the food intake, environmental factors and genetics that all contribute to cancers in most people.
