    Because the comparison is between systems. In other systems some people often end up with nothing, as in not even enough food to survive. That happens less under capitalism, hence there’s a more even distribution of resources.

    Kinda like two pieces of paper are both thin, but one of those pieces can be thicker than the other one, despite still being considered thin.

      People end up with nothing under Capitalism as well, and there is less disparity in some non-Capitalist systems.
