Toronto's anti-capitalist cafe with 'pay what you can' model shuts down after one year.

The Anarchist, an anti-capitalist coffee shop in Toronto, is closing after a year in business due to a lack of generational wealth/seed capital from ethically bankrupt sources. The cafe had a "pay what you can" model that was subsidized by pricier drinks, but the model was not successful. The shop also faced criticism for charging high prices for inexpensive coffee and drinks. The owner plans to use the inspiration and education gained from the experience in future projects.
