Capitalism is a system that allows people to make wealth based on trade. The winners in this game are the people at the top of the hierarchy. All these type A billionaires are the ultimate winners of the game. Zuck is a winner.

In communism the system says there are no winners. Everything needs to be fair.

The "system" in this case being the guy at the top who has taken all the power.

Please feel free to point to the real world exception, because I can't find it.

There's plenty of exceptions. PR China just after Deng was a good exception, and so was the Soviet Union after Stalin.
But they were only exception in the lame technical sense that you didn't have a single 'guy at the top' in charge, but a sharing of power by eg something like the Politburo.

I'm glad you take them at their word. May I interest you in some beach front property?

In any case, there's plenty more systems than just these two.
