It doesnt work here either because sucdems have to work with the existing ruling class for their reforms to go through. This means that social democracies tend to become more and more right wing and implement more and more neoliberal policies over time just to remain in power, and even then it's not enough. Just look at what happened to Allende and Lula, and Lula is currently making the same mistakes because theres nothing else he can do.
Socialism can't be achieved through the ballot box, and any improvements done by social democracies are fragile and will inevitably be undone.
