The NEP was neither market "socialism" nor was it a main economic driver of the USSR for decades. By the time of Lenin's death, he knew the NEP had run even longer than he had intended it to and wanted to see it's end with the transition to a planned economy - unlike Trotsky and his circle of ultra-Leftists who concidered any tactical retreat of economic policy heresy against their dogma or Bukharin's clique of right-opportunist capitulationists who desired to continue the NEP for decades with no regard for capitalist counter-revolutionary undermining.
Inferring Lenin was a market socialist is both historical revisionism, and reddit pol-comp brain rot.
Where did you get the info that Lenin thought the NEP should be ended? I hear that line thrown around a lot but as late as May 1923 he was writing articles that seem to defend the NEP and it's role in socialist construction.
The NEP was an intentional program to introduce markets into a socialist system in order to build the means of production of the USSR.
The eventual abandonment of the market is a common ideological underpinning in market socialist thought, and saying the NEP wasn't a market socialist system because they planned to introduce a planned system is missing the forest for the trees.
There was no socialist system in the tail end of the Civil War and the early years of the war-ravaged USSR, go read a history book before trying to make historical conclusions.
It was a stop-gap measure to bandage over the wounds of famine and war communism through a temporary restoration of private trade and petty capitalism in order to allow the country go through a period of primitive acumulation. You're completely delusional if you think capitalism with any socialist or communist party at the helm is a form of socialism, just as you'd be completely delusional if you keep trying to push the naked lie that Lenin is a market socialist.
