“Fuck the rich. Fuck the police. Fuck the state. Fuck the colonial death camp we call Canada.”

Such a lovely-sounding person. Given his attitude, and his business practices, I can't imagine why his cafe didn't take off.

Weird, considering how "progressive" the Canadian government is.

Commie bullshit fails even amongst other commies. It only works when enforced by authoritarian dictate.

And clearly, they weren't licking enough government boot.

The phrase I generally hear is “it’s never enough.” That is, it doesn’t matter how much you bend the knee, these SJW retards will come up with a reason to keep holding you accountable for what they claim are your sins, keep finding a way to make a country with a super leftist coward-government that can’t wait to give people like him everything they want a “colonialist death camp.”

"There's still more work to be done..."

Based.

Fuck the rich.

I guess that's fine too as long as you don't need their money. 🤷‍♂️

With the shitshow that a regular ass cafe is behind the scenes, I cannot imagine what a neurotic clusterfuck that working environment is.

Like cat urine, copious amounts of perfume, and week old soiled panties I reckon.

What did he learn from this business venture based on his children's ideology?

Nothing.

“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.

>quiet winter season

Let's not be too harsh on xer. After all, can you imagine how difficult it is to sell hot beverages during a cold Canadian winter? I mean, what kind of lunatic would want to sip a nice hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate to warm up? Might as well be selling coal to Newcastle, really.

That’s what stood out to me! I suppose to add to it, it’s a little rich referring to a “quiet” season for your business that only lasted a year and so only experienced each season once. Sounds like what really happened is his business was just quiet, full stop - probably because his business model was retarded.

No one came, no one paid anything who did come, and they couldn't get money from mom and dad any more.

I feel that I am able to speak with authority on this one: a stupid game has been played, a stupid prize has been won, and the contestant seems very excited to get on to their next stupid game because he learned nothing.

That reminds me of that feminist vegan restaurant (I believe that was also in Canada) that discriminated against men. It also shut down. People have a weird habit of not patronizing businesses that insult them and their values. Go figure.

It's sadly not an uncommon thing around this neck of the woods. These trust fund babies can't just make a normal hobby business like a kitschy shop or bookstore, it has to be one big statement against mommy, daddy and 'big business' aka the ones propping up this tantrum.

Leftism can't exist profitably without dying in a market economy.

The Labour Theory of Value states that an item sold for greater than the labor put into it is Surplus Value. All surplus value is value exploited from the consumer, and from the producer, and is thus stolen by the merchant or employer. All profit is surplus value. Therefore, if this business ever makes a profit it is exploiting it's workers.

A Leftist business MUST be unprofitable.

If a Leftist business has profits, they are capitalists because they are hoarding money (which is the monetized value of their employers labor).

There is no way around this. A good Leftist business is never profitable, and will thus go out of business immediately. A Leftist can only ever have a non-profit charity where wealth is disseminated by the producers. The leadership gets nothing. In all other cases, they are liars and capitalists.

Which just goes to show that none of this is about principle, and Leftists only care about power.

Residents used to brag that outsiders referred to it as "New York run by the Swiss".

Now it's more like San Francisco run by the crossdressing Monty Python lumberjacks.

I'm betting the economic reality was that the cafe was still capitalist.

The owner's "collective" had a workforce one employee strong.

Anarchocommunists never consider that plumbers and garbage collectors don't do it because they enjoy it.

Communism requires a monopoly on violence. I’m guessing this cafe had no guns at all.
