“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”

What do you mean by socialist? Their purpose is profit.

So was the Soviet State's. My point is that the Soviet Union wasn't socialist rather it was state capitalist.

For all you useful idiots and others that may entertain the idea that socialism/Communism would bring utopia, you need to listen to what this man has to say. He is Yuri Bezmenoz, an ex-KGB that defected to the west. We are in the middle of a global Communist conspiracy that has been many years in the making. The most recruitable are those of you that lack moral principles, are greedy, egotistical, and serve their purpose to destabilize this country - basically leftists. You will be the first to be terminated. Why? Because when you see what you have wrought, you, the disillusioned, will be bitter enemies of the system, and they do not tolerate dissent. Useful idiots are exiled, imprisoned or executed, that is your future. You are not special, they will use you and spit you out, because you know too much.
Take heed. Once this country is gone, there will be nowhere to go to be free.

Their purpose was not profit. Their purpose was creating the New Man to build a communist society.
If their purpose was profit the USSR would survive the same way communist China has.

That's exactly what happened to the Russian intelligentsia after the Bolsheviks came to power.
the Russian intelligentsia had been looking to overthrow the Czar to establish a left-wing labor government.
They got it in 1917, by the 1930s most of them were sent to the gulags or executed.

Sounds more like the Gordon Gekko type to me, not leftists. And he by definition is not Communist.

The state did not really want a communist society, they paid lip service, seized power and I doubt they would give it up for communism. And it really was about profit, they wanted the most output they can muster to make them wealthier and more powerful.
