No, but the NEP was the reactionary reintroduction of capitalist production to the Soviet Union, directly leading to the bureaucratic takeover of the state by the interests of that new industrial elite with the face of Stalin. As always, superstructure determined by the foundation.

Can't really blame Lenin though, as the USSR's productive forces clearly were not advanced enough to build socialism at the time. Anyone would have done the same optimistically.
