That guy clearly never heard about the Pareto Principle.

E: fuck yeah, successfully triggered all the hexbear tankies. As fun as poking a wasp nest with a long stick. If only there was an online tankie bug spray equivalent...

If 20% of people own 80% of the land or wealth or whatever in a capitalist country then all that shows is that capitalism produces Pareto distributions. That does not mean Pareto distributions are some universal law of nature nor does it mean that non-capitalist systems are impossible.

The pareto principle was produced by guessing based on anecdotal observations it was never a serious thing

You should e-mail that to the presidents of Cuba, Venezuela, and China, to show them the error of their communist ways.
