While this might be true in a US setting, the situation is different in places with an established succdem party. There you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to them".
Established succdems are almost as virulently anti-communist as fascists and are as much enemies of the people as any other liberal-conservative party.
One thing that I think at least is interesting and instructive, is in rare places where the democrats don't hold a monopoly on social democracy - like for instance Burlington, Vermont. There, the democrats pretty openly take the role of the conservatives and the progressive party takes the role of the social democrats. To your point, the progressives are on the wrong side of the revolution as well. With that outlook, which I think is correct, all electoral politics are on the wrong side of the revolution, and you see it (electoralism) for the dead end that it is.
While true, i believe it’s best to reserve our wrath for the most evil of the current world.
Let’s start by focusing our rage on billionaires and fascists. We can rage at the social democrats once the fascists and billionaires are guillotined.

Very true.

The Dems aren't even the social democrat party though, they are way too far to the right for that...

At the national level, that is true.
