Yeah, it's odd honestly, only after effectively defeating marxism-leninism globally has the U.S. started to accept socialism.
Though it probably could've been predicted, the Socialist and, to a varying degree, the Communist Parties (France and Italy), had a large amount of influence in the European democracies of the Cold War, and the U.S tolerated it, mostly because those parties upheld democracy. It makes sense that this attitude towards foreign policy would spread to how the U.S. treats any nation globally, not just Europe.
