Yes he was funny.
In his last years he solicited money on the streets in NYC and sent it to Cuba.
I guess he was not an authority on freedom and capitalism. just another socialist kook.
RIP.
"The New York Times has done an expose of the guy. He lives in a three-and-a-half-million-dollar apartment. He's not homeless, it's just part of his schtick, but he's a well-known anarchist, communist. There are pictures of him with Castro handing over money to this children's charity there."

While I can’t speak for everybody, I imagine people’s opinions on Cuba were different when they were old enough to have visited it before the embargo.
I believe he was a proud, unabashed communist.
