The vast majority of Earth's population was wiped out in WW3 and "the eugenics wars" which led to them building a United Earth government. Also French is a dead language but that's TNG lore. The utopia macguffin (replicators) isn't until after TOS either.
TOS was progressive in the sense that like most TV shows at the time there was always some writer who wanted to push commie propaganda and there was an executive who pushed back resulting in the version we got. ("Mankind has no need for gods. We find the one to be quite adequate.")
