Depending on nature of the save in question, Minecraft could be pretty chill. Like a creative mode world is godlike power, a peaceful world would be a chill place where you can easily just build your own home to live in, and even a regular survival world isn't too bad given the respawns. Just as long as you don't choose like, hardcore or a pvp server world or such.

I assume that the whole "Stalin starved his people" thing isn't talking about the average conditions of the Soviet Union during more "normal" times, but rather specific events of mass starvation like the Holodomor. That being said, famine caused by accidental or malicious management of agriculture is something hardly unique to any single economic system (I imagine a comparison could be made to the Irish potato famine there, for an example of a similar type of disaster under a different economic system), so I'm not sure if it reflects entirely on the kind of system the Soviets were going for as much as it does mistakes in the process of transitioning to that system, and malfeasance on the part of those in charge in pushing the consequences of those mistakes upon disfavored groups.
