LOL, what would happen under statism if someone amasses 51% of the known wealth?

I'm not saying it's a good thing no matter what. I just think it'd be easier to amass that much wealth under AC.

51% of the wealth on earth? Are you freaking kidding me? The Gross World Product is around 60 trillion dollars. Bill Gates is worth, what 60 billion? 1/10 of 1%!!! You think someone will be able to be becomes 500x as rich?
Also, as I pointed out earlier, offense is tougher than defense. 51% of the resources doesn't guarantee victory in war. (See: UK v. US, 1776, e.g.).
I will note that during the Cold War, two nations had well over half of the world's military resources and came to the brink of nuclear annihilation on several occasions. Ah, statism!
