what I don't understand is how I'm supposed to be satisfied with false equality where the vast majority of power and wealth get concentrated into a few controlling hands as opposed to the situation that exists in capitalism now, with that power and wealth spread out more vastly than at any point in human existence.

That isn't true.[1] Honestly, I see absolutely no basis with which you could possible make that claim.

You're not supposed to be satisfied with that situation, and that's what communism, idealistically, tries to address. Whether it's effective in the real world is certainly debatable, but we can't have that debate if you change the definition of communism to essentially mean authoritarianism.
