Well, as a Swede I'm aware of a middle-ground social democracy. But that's unrelated to what I asked about. It wasn't capitalism that made Scandinavia social-democratic. It was through hard fought labour struggles and through socialist ideals that drove the capitalist into far reaching concessions under the threat of revolution. So that doesn't say anything about how it's unintentional, if anything it just underlines it.
