First of all, if everybody on the extreme left and right yould have such civil conversations with each other, that would be great. Hannity and Moore, for some reason I don't know, like one another, so unfortunately this one was only an exception.

Second, I don't think that Moore is a hypocrite for criticizing capitalism even though he used it to get rich. Don't hate the player - hate the game. Moore doesn't like the game, but he played by the rules, and he played very well. It's just that he's not against capitalism because it's bad for him, but because it's bad for others.

Hannity was right when he said that Fidel Casto wouldn't allow that much dissent, but then again, that doesn't have much to do with capitalism or communism, but with a free speech system vs. an authoritarian and oppressive system (which Moore doesn't advocate). Moore didn't counter that charge very well, but in fact it's not a valid point.
