Plenty of socialists are pro-imperialism and national chauvinists. The entire split of the communists from socialists organizations and the formation of the Comintern was premised on this. Read about the history of socialist parties after 1917 and you see they are rife with nothing but bourgeois progressivism if not outright reaction. It was only in the late 1930s and 1940s that the two began to reconcile due to the threat of fascism and in many places it was a mistake to maintain that relationship after World War Two because the socialists happily sold out the communists when given the opportunity. The names only remain conflated because of anti-communism and a failure of leftists to grapple with this history.
