"I got an offer for you before we move on. If I were to give you your $2,350, which is the cost to renunciate your citizenship, and I paid you your first class, you know, flight to whatever communist country and $20,000, would you give up your [American] citizenship?, Bet-David asked. Name me a communist country, responded Allannah, the flannel-wearing anti-capitalist he was debating. Whichever communist country you want to go to."
"Those aren't communist countries, Allannah said while Bet-David was listing the aforementioned nations. Her allotted time to debate Bet-David ended right then, without Allannah agreeing to take her freebie ticket to ditch the U.S. You can watch a clip of that moment via the X post below: A moment earlier, Allannah had explained, I like to be free, but that's why I'm anti-capitalist because capitalism removes that choice."
Patrick Bet-David offered a self-described anti-capitalist named Allannah a paid first-class, one-way ticket to a communist country of her choice, $20,000, and $2,350 to cover citizenship renunciation. Bet-David named Cuba, Venezuela, and North Korea among options and asked whether she would give up American citizenship. Allannah refused, asserting that those nations are not truly communist. Her debate time ended before she accepted the offer. She had earlier said she values freedom but opposes capitalism because it removes choice. Bet-David contrasted North Korea with capitalist South Korea, arguing lack of free speech in the former.
