This is confirmation bias. You have one datapoint of people not objecting to the authority’s free candy (at the end of class, no less), and when there was no other option (no one had saved the previous distribution). If the order of the two systems had been reversed, you most probably would not have seen any objections either (and anyhow we do not have this datapoint).
The “capitalist” system is also more fair in the sense that it gives you strictly more control over which probability distribution you want for your candies. As always, more control given to dumb people can backfire for them, but most people do prefer having it.
Another nitpick: The whole experiment was rigged because people who actually won the gambling had a bias towards the “capitalist” system, while the losers had a bias against it. And it used a game that is almost completely luck-based, while real-life is a lot more skill-based.
