‘Anti-Capitalist’ Cafe Closes Down After A Year Due To A Lack Of Capital

The Anarchist, a Canadian coffee shop dedicated to fighting capitalism, is going out of business on May 30, about one year after its opening due to a lack of capital, according to its owner.

The café sold coffee and tea alongside books and merchandise promoting radical leftist ideas, and was ardently anti-capitalist. The business was unable to obtain enough capital to stay in business during a slow winter season, the cafe’s owner, Gabriel Sims-Fewer, wrote in an online announcement about the closure.

“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,” Sims-Fewer wrote.

To say that this proves that capitalism works is like saying that a slaveowning class executing leaders of a slave revolt proves that slavery works. All this shows is that the capitalist ruling class dominates Canadian society.

No.

It's more like "Capitalism works".

And what proves it works is that the ruling billionaires are able to use their exclusive control over the means of production to destroy any attempt to build isolated alternative distribution schemes alongside the main capitalist marketplace?

My posts have certainly proven THAT to be a lie. Zachary Taylor wasn't a Democrat. He was a Whig. Most Black plantation owners (who owned a tiny fraction of all slaves) were also Whigs.

The United States is not only the most successful nation in the world, it is the most successful nation in the history of the world. It is the nation the people all around the globe strive to get into, to do business with, to emulate. In short, it is everything on communist country ever has been or will be.

Yes, Capitalism, while not perfect, does work. The proof is in the pudding.

Yes, capitalism did make the U.S. into a rich and powerful empire by impoverishing countries like Mexico, Guatemala, and the Philippines (which are all equally capitalist). And, yes, countries from Nazi Germany to Putin’s Russia have sought with limited success to replicate the U.S.’s brutal methods on the same economic basis.

But capitalism has given the world an intensification of bigotry and war, and introduced mass genocide, fascism, and the threat of globally catastrophic environmental disaster. It has become an impediment to technological and scientific progress and to poverty-reduction efforts; in fact, it promises ever more destructive economic crises that will increasingly impoverish more of the population, including in the U.S. It is inimical to democracy, a remnant of which persists in the U.S. due to class struggle against the capitalist rulers.

The goal of communists is not to build the world’s most successful country, but to build, as Che Guevara put it, “a world without borders,” and on that basis to raise the standard of living.
