To be fair, how do westerners not treat capitalism and democracy with exactly the same weight? I think both sides would have good reason to argue that neither side has figured out the secret sauce as you say.
Not a huge stretch to think both the US and Russia treat their citizens poorly, and neither is a model for the rest of the world.
Russia is also capitalist, and I think you meant to say “democracy” instead of “capitalism” there since authoritarian capitalism is definitely a thing (see Russia and China).

Alot of people also confuse freedom with capitalism and democracy. The propaganda runs deep
