>every thesis contains its antithesis
Doesn't work because marxism and capitalism aren't "thesis" but systems. The dialectical movement has to be applied to people [picrel], not ideas. In the case of socialism, it's precisely because the bourgeois is antithetical to the proles that a synthesis is reached through the state.

>these synthesise into social democracy
No because social democracy is only a reaction to give proles a better life, consequently making them less desire to revolt. It's more of a backwards step, a concession by the bourgeoisie from the marxist pov.
Nontheless, the dialectical "method" works through necessity and artificiality. Given the catastrophic failures of planned models, it seems apparent that market socialism, or democratic socialism, has to be achieved first before moving to a fully planned distribution of ressources. This is also unsurprisingly the model which worked best historically. Slovenia under yugoslavia is a good example : it achieved 90-95% of real wages in its neighbor austria, had 2-4% unemployment throughout its history, despite being hindered by third-world southern republics throughout its entire life. Imo, it's a good example of what could happen if larger rich european countries transitioned to socialism simply by having an pro-active state in the economy and by imposing democracy in the workplace (de jure making all private enterprises co-ops which were praised by marx).
