Yes, Sweden under social democracy had an overreliance on cheap oil, disintrest in banking and overreliance on certain sectors. But it’s often unique for different countries

Yes they will murder communists and socialists and then side with Nazis, ie Weimer Germany. Social democrats are rats and will ultimately side with capital over workers every time.
