which has improved somewhat

Somewhat? It went all the way from shit hole to super wealthy in 30 years.

You’re ignoring the hundreds of millions of Ukrainian, Russian, Belarusian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Moldovan, Yugoslav, Hungarian… lives who went to shit after socialism was dissolved.

Soviet union did both a shit job at transitioning to capitalism, and has one of the most propaganda shaped societies in the world. Ukraine also struggles with fucking war with Russia right now.

There's a research around communism nostalgia, and in countries that did transformation correctly, it isn't really a thing.
