The concept is the same.
No.
I've lived all my life under either the socialist party or the socio-democratic party. With the first being in the center, between the left and the right wings, but leaning a bit more to the left, while the second one leans a bit more to the right.
Further to the left, we have the Communist party which gets around 10% of the votes in each election, and even further left we have the left bloc...they're relatively new but have gained on the communists.
To the right, we have the "centre democratic social" party. These guys are, to us, equivalent to your Republicans, with a Christian bend thrown in. They've lost support in recent times, having come down to 4% of the votes (from a previous 10~15%).
With so many parties claiming some social bit in them...regardless of their actual ideology... I'm pretty sure that socialist and communist are very different political ideologies.
