A Toronto cafe for anti-capitalists, "The Anarchist," is permanently shuttering after just 12 months in business after following a "pay-when-you-can" business model.
The Anarchist describes itself as an "anti-capitalist, anti-colonial cafe, shop and radical community space on stolen land."
"Unfortunately, the lack of generational wealth/seed capital from ethically bankrupt sources left me unable to weather the quiet winter season, or to grow in the ways needed to be sustainable longer-term," the owner, Gabriel Sims-Fewer wrote last week.
The Anarchist, which opened for business in March of 2022, went viral last year, with internet users mocking the leftist cafe for charging high prices for its “speciality” coffee as well as selling “radical” art, books, clothing, jewellery, tote bags, and stickers. -Breitbart
"Fuck the rich. Fuck the police. Fuck the state. Fuck the colonial death camp we call "Canada"," Gabriel wrote.

"It’s been an amazing experience, connecting with so many great community members, sparking desperately needed debate, raising the blood pressure of Conservatives (that includes you, “anarcho-capitalists” and “Libertarians”), fulfilling the dream of most service workers by not having to tolerate the presence of professional class-traitors (pigs and military), and experimenting with living and working in ways that don’t enthusiastically embrace the pure misanthropy of Capitalism," he continued.
How could this have possibly happened?
I am sorry but all I can do is laugh and point and laugh some more.
Wait, so the sun is hot?
Anarchists. Hahaha. These morons would soil themselves if true anarchy occurred.
Gee! Who could have predicted that?
I am sorry but all I can do is laugh and point and laugh some more.
"How dare those filthy capitalist pigs deny me the financial resources (which they acquired through hard work and saving) that I need to fulfill my economically unviable dream?!"
Yeah, delusional!
Regards,
Gabriel is an idiot.
This happened in Canada. Why am I not surprised?
“Unfortunately, the lack of generational wealth/seed capital from ethically bankrupt sources ...”
So his ethical business plan relied on “capital from ETHICALLY BANKRUPT sources”??
The owner is downright delusional. He thinks capitalism is based in greed?! Wrong! It is communism that is based in greed!
It could just as easily have happened in SF, Seattle, Portland and another dozen places in the US.
We have ample supply of these delusionals.
you are commies
you should have taken everything they had
and made them bus tables and wash dishes
Yeah, cause nobody could have seen that coming. /s
That’s right, he should have!
They’re just like bratty kids rebelling against an uncool parent who is telling them to finish their dinner or do their homework.
Not only did they close, they didn’t learn a damned thing. That’s the real headline.
The idea they haven’t learned anything is the problem and the problem with liberals in general. They haven’t learned the errors of their philosophical ways
He can’t bring himself to blame the losers who wouldn’t pay enough to keep the cafe running.....Help the guy out..Pay 15.00 for coffee......
Looks like some blew Gabriel’s horn on this commie nutcase. Good.
Hope he likes his life on unemployment.
Pay when you can? Should have named it Wimpy’s.
