Ask any post soviet country how they liked it during the USSR

The vast majority believe they are worse off now than under Socialism, which makes sense because the reintroduction of Capitalism resulted in skyrocketing rates of poverty, prostitution, drug abuse, homelessness, and an estimated 7 million excess deaths around the world.

I guess you can say Ukraine is now worse off than in the USSR, Back then they weren't at war. The current situation isn't exactly the fault of capitalism (or Ukranie for that matter)
