Maybe, but let's not forget that the Nazi party had "socialist" in its name too, and that was an extreme right wing party. National Socialist German Worker's Party.
Socialism in the modern context is the application of general welfare programs, such as universal healthcare, unemployment support, etc.
hitler added the socialist name in order too attract many socialists conservatives and foolish communists too his party under the advice of then future propaganda minister joseph goebells he was in fact fascist but I will give you credit in saying the name aloned oes not qualify them as a purely socialist government, the fact is the USSR was modeled after stalinism which is marxist-leninist interpreation of communism, it was in fact "socialism in one country", but the country itself was not the "be all end all" communism it's merely portrayed that way, besides most modern communist do not consider stalin a communist anymore than they do franklin delano roosevelt
