It begrudgingly half-way adopted things that were already common everywhere, then for the next decades went around the world spreading fascism and ultra-conservatism everywhere it went.
The US has always been a deeply regressive country
Either way he would still be an anti-union jackass so I don’t really care what he would think
What are you smoking?
The US actively worked against all of those movements. It proudly supported appartheid and colonialism in Africa, propped up fascist regimes in Latin America and opposed the independence of places like Vietnam. The US government didn’t like anyone that implied blacks and whites were equal, and in fact anyone who dared to imply it was spied and silenced.
Most of those ideas were inspired by socialism and were supported by the soviet union, but you wont hear that awkward truth inside the american education system.
I love how the people that told you a year ago to shut up about Gaza because it was hurting Biden are now trying to guilt trip you about Gaza
“I have yet to encounter a dem, especially here, who hasn’t called Gaza some version of an open-air concentration camp”
You weren’t paying enough attention then.
Your average democrat was firmly on Israel’s side until it became politically convenient for them to pretend they always cared about Palestine.
Edit: 
“Pound sand with your appeal to hypocrisy.”
Not my fault democrats are hypocrites.
Democrats a year ago: Shut up about Gaza! there is no genocide, you are just being dramatic.
Democrats now: Ohh, poor gaza, why aren’t you doing anything about them? This is all your fault!!!

The real reason is that German unification was done poorly and it benefited West Germany in a very disproportionate manner.
Most people and jobs migrated to west Germany and East Germany was left to rot.
Couple that with the fact that communism/socialism became a big taboo in Europe and capitalism’s faults were completely ignored, even when it was visibly failing.
When you ban and stigmatize the left so much, people will turn to the only side that actually acknowledges something is wrong, and in this case, only the far right has done so.
