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?
Panera had some locations a few years ago where customers could pay whatever they wanted to pay. Didn’t work out well for Panera either.
Maybe it would have worked out, if the Rent and Utilities were free! /s
Who’d a thunk!? People got freebies and just said, nah... I’ll get ya next time...
Commies are always trying to change human nature. SMH.
The guy should be committed. He didn’t get a clue when the utilities, tax man, his suppliers and landlord didn’t do the same for him?
"I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today"
They want to experience anarchy? Send ‘em to Mogadishu.
You make a good point
When they didn’t have enough money they should have just conscripted customers to work. Then they would have had the real communist model.
Water is wet?
Sounds like failed satire by the bee again, an anti capitalist failed by capitalism.
Reminds me of the pilgrims who were failing till property rights and capitalism was implemented
I will pay you for this new car when I get the money….
Watch the anti-capitalist curse that for once his class enemies won't just give him the rope to hang themselves.
I especially like him bragging about: raising the blood pressure of Conservatives (that includes you, “anarcho-capitalists” and “Libertarians”), while insulting those who oppose government power for the wrong reason.
Definitely the feel good story of the morning.
Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt...
"Here's your f*****g tip."
"Hey, this is just pocket lint!"
"That's right. Thanks for the free f******g coffee BTW. Later."
I wonder if the moron realizes that he just proved his belief system doesn’t work.
They are idiots.
What a surprise.
Here's a picture of the clueless idiot
Capitalism produces EVERYTHING socialists/Communists wish to “redistribute.”
Socialism/Communism can only exist as parasites of capitalism.
“Maybe it would have worked out if the rent and utilities were free”...you have just identified the the morally bankrupt agents in this sad sad saga of “the little socialist who couldn’t”. Along, I’m sure, with the vendors of this once fine establishment, who were more interested in being paid for the goods and services provided than being a part of something bigger...and poorer. Pretty sure socialism 101 teaches right from the get-go that no business plan that creates profit is acceptable to the true socialist and the proper way to fund anything is to get the government to TAKE IT from the profitable businesses and give it to the socialist businesses because, you know, moral bankruptcy.
True anarchy can only exist for as long as it takes some of the people to form a gang and start forcing the rest to do their bidding. The largest and most successful gangs are eventually known as "governments".
It is sort of like "Cuba is poor because the US does not trade with them."
Just about every other country in the world trades with them. Why would our doing so make a difference?
Or the "Since the white people moved out the cities all our utilities don't work properly." Is a lighter skin shade magic?
