Stalin is saying that social democracy is the response of the capitalists to a stronger proletariat, and the end outcome of social democracy remains the same as fascism - capitalists remain in power - and will withdraw the treats as soon as the revolutionary desires of the masses have settled down.

Stalin is writing in the interwar period before fascism has really demonstrated certain aspects that we associate with fascism today
