Why is socdem considered moderate fascism? (hexbear.net)

Socdem is bad because capitalism etc etc I understand that, but I saw some people in here saying that socdem is OBJECTIVELY the moderate branch of fascism, which I don't really understand, because most socdems I know just want their basic welfare system, but are far from nationalism, advocating for genocide etc

I know it's still bad but for example in spain I feel there's a big difference between the francoist spain and the socdem wannabe spain, for the better

So please explain, and feel free to call out any brainworms that I might (probably) have shown in here

This could also just be a very funny line, like the "unlimited genocide on the first world" thing, idk

So it's less of like a spectrum (as in less fascist) and more as in both fascism and socdem are two tools used by the same arm?

And now that you mention popular front, is it only acceptable when the fash is rising? or is it just another form of giving space to vote ?

With popular front I mean leftwing electoral and/or government coalitions, like in france with the nfp or in spain with the psoe-sumar gov
