Not because of capitalism, because of corruption, etc. Anyway, they try to escape to other capitilist countries

When stuff goes poorly in a socialist regime it's always "this is proof of socialisms short comings and shows the inherent inhumanity of such an ideology!" but when it comes to capitalism it's always "individual people who are corrupted misused the system to do harm, and yeah it keeps happening but it's not an inherent trait of our system!"

It is a trait of our system, noone said capitalism is perfect, its just better than communism
