‘Anti-Capitalist’ Rejects Patrick Bet-David’s Offer for Free 1-Way Ticket to Communist Country

A self-proclaimed “anti-capitalist” declined YouTuber and businessman Patrick Bet-David’s offer of a free first-class, one-way ticket to a communist country of her choosing, including Cuba, North Korea, or Venezuela, because she said they are not truly communist.

Bet-David — during a new episode of  Jubilee’s debate series dubbed “1 Capitalist vs 20 Anti-Capitalists” that premiered on Sunday — said he would add $20,000 to sweeten the deal, but the anti-capitalist held off on accepting. The clip, and several others from the episode, went viral on X over Labor Day Weekend.

“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. Cuba, we can give you Venezuela, we [can] give you North Korea, any one of those you want to go to. Choose any one of them. I’ll give you [a] one-way ticket, and I’ll fund it for you,” Bet-David said.

“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.”

Bet-David disagreed, saying it was worth comparing communist North Korea to capitalist South Korea. For people who like free speech, Bet-David said, North Korea would suck because “you wouldn’t be able to do what you’re doing right now.”

For those who are unfamiliar, Los Angeles-based Jubilee Media routinely posts similar videos where several people debate a prominent media figure with opposing view points. One notable example was Ben Shapiro debating 25 Kamala Harris supporters a few weeks before the 2024 election; that episode has racked up more than 16 million YouTube views since then. Jordan Peterson also got into a heated debate with 20 atheists during an episode in March.

Bet-David made his money selling life insurance and via a marketing company he founded, before starting his Valuetainment channel on YouTube in 2012, which has nearly 7 million subscribers.

A few other moments from his Jubilee episode have grabbed the attention of many X users, including one in which he offers — and then retracts — a job to a guy who said he had unsuccessfully applied to 477 jobs.
