Lol this is the funniest example ever to try and defend democratic socialism. Literally all three of these countries faced attempted coups, and in two of them the coups succeeded for a period of time leads to dozens of people being killed. Venezuela also is the only one which successfully fended off all coups attempts because they established dual power structure communes with armed militias that weren't connected to the formal military, that likes to coup socdems alot
Reaction is inevitable, so the presence of reaction means nothing by itself. The takeaway from the coup attempts in those countries is that 2/3 ultimately resisted them. That stacks up just fine against the success rate of revolutionary strategies.
That just signifies that socdem/demsoc parties end up only truly working for the people in the global south/countries subjected to imperialism, while in the west they function as the moderate wing of capital and therefore imperialism. There may be isolated examples of parties breaking this trend once or twice but the trend is obvious to see.
Venezuela, Bolivia, and Chile might have something to say about this.
