East Germany had a lot of people who were disgruntled that they got no respect but they got no respect because they were stupid and lazy and these are not traits capitalism rewards either
The loyal DPRK defector mentioned that in the interview with Messy News Room Sesh. He said "I left because I was lazy and didn't like that I was holding everyone back" and went on to explain that he felt that was his personal problem and not something to hold against the DPRK.
The phrase that is meant to describe socialism is "from each according to their ability, to each according to their work" so it's not a contradiction that's unknown.
Also "you don't work (when you're able), you don't eat" which is supposedly some evil communist thing, but fuck if that's not exactly what capitalism is with the exception of the bourgeoisie.
It does a bit but you have to be already bourgeoise to do that. You don't go from immigrant with no money to bourgeoise with just laziness and stupidity
Broke immigrants rarely find themselves in a position to gatekeep an economic bottleneck. They are, far more often, the people paying out their asses to get through said bottleneck.

I mean, Capitalism rewards entrenching yourself in a bottleneck and sucking as much money out of your neighbors as possible.
You don't need to necessarily be smart or energetic to accomplish this.
