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.
