I don't think Sowell, interpreted charitably, intends his argument here to be a nail in the coffin to Marxism. All he's pointing out is that some empirical facts would be expected if Marxist claims were true; yet we don't see these facts borne out in reality; therefore we've got some degree of evidence that Marxist claims are not true.
It's just a simple empirical argument he commented on in the form of a soundbite. It's not his formal criticism of Marxism, on which he's written an entire book published by an academic press, here.
If you'd like to know more he wrote a book on Marxism.

By reading his material over the last thirty years.
One of his better works, all things considered and that's before he tried to jump the track into neurogenetics, constitutional law, and gynocology.
The man will write what he's paid to write, regardless of his degree of expertise.
