He was literally a communist. He exploited the capitalist system to become rich, evaded taxes, gathered a bunch of debt, while opposing the system that made him into the successful person that he became (in some regards).
He defended an ideology that historically has resulted in mass murder, oppression, and economic downturn. But he grew up in a poor family, with presumably little education and a society governed by socialism, so I suppose we can't judge him too hard for not seeing the risks posed by such a system, and for improperly thinking that Maduro, Chavez, Castro, Guevara and other radical revolutionaries would solve economic injustice and societies in decay.
