Video talking about the cafe:
Link to tweet discussing when it first opened
The coffee shop was a worker (one worker to be specific) owned, anti capitalist, anti colonial (?) cafe. Where you could read all 
from great progressive authors while enjoying a cup of overpriced coffee.
They leaned heavily into creating a safe space of People of color, so no dumb cops or army people were allowed on the premise. 
.
The cafe also made the wise choice of being open from 9 to 5, the time when all of the working class people were wage cucking lol
They also had this cool idea where you only had to pay as much as you could afford. Surely this wouldn't backfire 
Anyway less than a year later the cafe opening, the cafe shuts down and the owner puts at a statement on why it failed:
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 landlord was also giving them a 50% discount on their rent and that darn capitalism still managed to shut them down

As opposed to the super intelligent anti capitalist hate monger that couldnt keep their business alive for more than a year paying 1/2 price rent.🤔
For most of us it's worked out pretty well! And the alternatives don't look very appealing.
Yes, it worked well if you are a boomer who was able to buy up all the properties and become a full time landlord. For, the rest of us housing has become a luxury. This in my eyes is a systematic failure.
I'm GenX and have been eating the shit most of my adult life. But jcd ain't wrong (and often is), no alternative system provides better quality of life for the majority of people that we've figured out, thus far. Where we're really failing is on who we elect and how we balance our current system. But that's a whole other topic.
You do realize that capitalism is one of the only systems that marks basic human needs as luxuries? The only difference is that failures under capitalism are not properly accounted for. If a person is homeless under capitalism, it’s marked as the persons fault and not the states. If a person is hungry under capitalism, it’s marked as the persons fault and not the states. Since capitalism depends on the core belief that the meritocracy is real, every failure is attributed to personal failure and not a systematic issue. This is why people think capitalism is the best system because every failure is accredited to the individual suffering those conditions.

Having dealt with co-ops, they tend to be really poorly run and are prone to major internal political drama as different types of employees have different interests. Older co-op owners tend not to want to reinvest in the business to maximize their own returns. Smarter younger owners do want to reinvest so they make more money long term. Dumb younger owners want to do all sorts of different shit. People want to cut corners. People don't want to do bad jobs and everyone suddenly thinks they're a business genius.
Your argument basically boils down to "people are too dumb for democracy to work". I'm not asking this to be snarky, this is honestly something I struggle with myself. Do you think that the problem you describe here justifies the authoritarian mode of production we use now? If so, why is this different from how we run our governments? Should we be modeling our government more like China's to make sure it's run better and not prone to internal political drama?

it's just laughing at a stupid business that existed in contradiction to what it seemingly was preaching. it's like having a pro-Semitic non-racist Jewish Death Camp or a homosexual who's only attracted to the opposite s*x.
Frick lefties I wish them the worst, this bottom feeding commie hopefully learns what being poor is
