Normally, people use "socialism" synonymously (intentionally or unknowningly) with _international_ socialism. There are plenty of other kinds, and _national_ socialism is one of them.
Obviously, if you're going to name your faction with a preceding adjective like national/international then:
a) it's important to you
b) you're probably not going to get along with the other faction that is named in direct opposition to yours
Which pretty much explains how these two groups of socialists hate each other and why the Nazi's 25 point plan [0] reads 50% nationalist and 50% socialist.
It's not a misnomer, unlike the DPRK.
