Socialism can have a state, a contradiction in terms would be a communist state or an anarchist state. Socialism is simply a mode of production by which public, collectivized production is the principle aspect of the economy. The USSR was not a business, nor were the “profits” distributed to public officials, that just wasn’t how the soviet economy functioned.
And you sound like a helicopter parent who’s balanced on that fine line between hysterical tears and explosive rage because somebody at the playground said something mean about their darling USSR.
Socialist state is a contradiction in terms.
Stalin was CEO of USSR Incorporated.

i wonder how your instance turned into a nazi bar
It didn’t. And I’m an anarchist.
If you’re going to rely on ad hominems, you should at least try to make them somewhat accurate and relevant.
You have the fucking nerve to say that after calling the USSR a corporation. You’re not even a radlib; you’re a Christopher Hitchens neocon.
And yes your instance is a nazi bar. You just recently had to be shamed into banning one of your mods ADVOCATING for the holocaust.
Um… no. I’m an anarchist.

Yeah well you’re also this bad thing with a tediously long unfunny description
