Marxists and Randians are mirror images of each other. Both insist there’s some “real” distribution of resources distorted by nefarious forces. In reality, there’s just the current distribution, and the option to redistribute up or down.

I would say "moral" rather than "real". The Marxists, though, are dedicated to dogma guaranteed to make the pie smaller.

Both regularly argue that someone (workers/makers) rightfully owns more things than, in reality, they own, and that the current distribution is a distortion of reality. Except it is reality.

They are both materialist. I think it does a disservice to both to claim they don't acknowledge current reality.

Acknowledge it, yes. And complain about it, on the grounds that it's artificially distorted. We agree. We're just using slightly different language to say the same thing.
