The difference between 1984 and real life is that plenty of us are actually volunteering for it and actively pursuing it in many a case.

If you'd told George Orwell that he would've tossed his cookies.

No system can work without collaboration(ist?).

How does the wild capitalism work?

5% of mega-wealthy
10% of wealthy.
10% of people who make a good living serving those above.
25% of people that are scared to loose what they have, are convinced by propaganda, or vote with their guts,...

I think your data about wealth distribution is incorrect.
This source https://inequality.org/facts/global-inequality/ quotes that 1% owns 45 % of the wealth and i believe that this is much closer to reality.

The real question in the context of data usage against the population itself for political gain is how many are exposed and how easily their minds are influenced by ads and relevant information.
