They believe everything is zero-sum

Well, they're right about that. The Earth, and all the resources on it, are finite. The more any one person owns, the less everyone else can own. Now, I would agree that the Earth's resources are abundant, and that there's more than enough for everyone on Earth (at our current population level, at least) to not only survive but thrive. But, because the Earth's resources are finite, it's not possible for any one person to own an infinite amount of resources, let alone for that person to own infinite resources and there still be resources leftover for everyone else.
