That's not my point, my issue is the boundary between socialism and capitalism. Depending on who you're going to ask, they will give you an unreasonably high standard for one and say that everything short of that is the other. The other commenter said that the Soviet Union was not socialism. Then what was it? Because I assure you, it wasn't even close to capitalism as you know it today. If we'd to stick to the original definition of capitalism as it was coined by Marx, probably everything would fall under it and it'd render both of these terms completely useless for any discussion other than autistic political philosophy that most likely won't have much to do with the real world.
