My brother, who's a social democrat, claims that social democracy is not capitalism - eviltoast

This dude has a political science major… I tried telling him that in social democracy the workers don’t own the means of production so it’s still capitalism, but he doesn’t listen. I remember went he stopped supporting my country’s (Netherlands) neoliberal party (D66) and started supporting PvdA, our socialdemocratic party. I was hopeful that he was slowly turning to the left, but nothing’s changed. What are some arguments against socialdemocracy that a social democrat might listen to?

    I also blame a lack of marxist party for this. I was talking to my mom yesterday and she asked me whether or not I will vote in november. I want to vote but I have honestly no idea what to vote. The most left option is GL/PvdA and they are socdems at best like you say.
