Social-imperialism are the imperialist systems which develop in revisionist states which have undergone a restoration of capitalism. Ideologically, social-imperialism may be understood more broadly as "socialism in words, imperialism in deeds," with Karl Kautsky and the Second International supporting the imperialist wars of their countries and betraying proletarian internationalism.

Revisionist countries which are currently or historically social-imperialist include the Soviet Union following de-Stalinization and its restoration of capitalism in the 1950s and the People's Republic of China.
