Given the actual outcome of all the Soviet Union's "social manipulation", I am not sure that it's extendable to the superpower levels :-/

Given the actual outcome of all the Soviet Union's "social manipulation",

What do you consider that outcome to be? True, they failed to win the cold war, but they deed succeed in injecting a destructive memeplex into Western culture that is currently taking over.

Pretty much nothing.

I am not sure which "destructive memeplex" do you have in mind, but I suspect that it came from and spread through prominent Western figures.
