My brother, who's a social democrat, claims that social democracy is not capitalism (lemmygrad.ml)

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 think this might support the point that socdems are capitalists even more though. They just say they'll do things for the people then just don't when they're in power.
