The USSR had mass starvations and resource shortages in times of peace (before WWI). It also collapsed from civil war and military coups, not economic collapse. It also had much more restraint than modern welfare systems, as it didn't pull resources from the void, but instead only allocated those that currently existed. There was no democracy to vote money out of nowhere like we currently do.
