You are relying on hindsight bias. At the time the USA was taking over from the UK as the world financial sector. The problem you are correctly obsessing over is a postwar one in the states, and a pre-war one in europe.

You can’t blame people in the past for now knowing what we didn’t know until much – or for looking at the evidence of the moment (vast increase in state power in both europe and the USA because of the industrial revolution) and assuming the risk that you see was something of the past.

Their folly was permissiveness which was endemic in both conservative and progressive circles at the time. The industrial revolution had make a west full of foolish optimism.

We are in the opposite end of that cycle. We can see what the permissiveness and state power have led to.

It’s not our job to blame them in the past but to solve the problem now that it’s visible and we can solve it.

I work on the laws so that what you despise can’t happen again. The rest requires physical expulsion of people from the country for certain and possibly the revocation of the vote from women, or at least women without three or more children (who are the only women that vote rationally).
