Because they've never seen well regulated Capitalism nor been educated on it as all we get in the US is Corporate propaganda on Capitalism to justify the hellscape the wealthy make the most money from.
The US is a hellscape? Why do we have such immigration pressure in that case? People aren’t immigrating to the US so that they can be elites. They’re immigrating here because the low tier they will have in society is better than their previous life.
Some other places being even more of a hellscape doesn't mean this one isn't.
It also begs the question of why many of those places are worth risking everything to flee from, which western capitalism is typically involved with to a significant degree.
