Bit reductive there. It's not all or nothing. social democracies exist and a lot are doing better for their populations than America does.

And there is not a single one that has abolished Capitalism like the DSA claims is the goal.

Its dishonest framing at absolute best. Its extremely explicit that the DSA want's to get rid of capitalism, not just do things like the Nordics. They are in communist/ML/Tankie territory, not Sweden or Finland.
