I think Moore is pretending to be a Marxist. It makes an otherwise socially unacceptable ugly slob the darling of the elites.
He craves the fawning of the left, but at heart he is the greediest of them all.
IMHO, he is acting EXACTLY like a good Marxist-elitist.
If you look at the leaders of the world's Socialist countries, you won't find a pauper among them! Heck, go look at the list of richest Congress-critters in Washington. Most of them are left of Karl Marx and are willing to spend OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY, especially when a portion of it ends up in their own personal accounts.
