Well my point is that broadly for one person to succeed, there are inevitably a large number who have to fail.
But you are choosing extreme phrases to make everything sound more dramatic.
If you used the national lottery as a simple example. Someone wins the jackpot. They succeed. All those who didn't fail. But that failer is fairly minimal. Most people would probably describe that as not winning.
If the majority of people lived on enough to provide basic essentials, plus some luxuries/treats, and access to social services why does it really matter how the 1% live? And more to the point does that constitute failer?
(assuming we accept your point is correct in the first place)
