Alex Jung believes that Germany’s social democracy is vastly superior to our American system — but his answer to the question, How did Germany become such a great place to work in the first place?, could have been written by the reactionary Mencius Moldbug:
The Allies did it. This whole European model came, to some extent, from the New Deal. Our real history and tradition is what we created in Europe. Occupying Germany after WWII, the 1945 European constitutions, the UN Charter of Human Rights all came from Eleanor Roosevelt and the New Dealers. All of it got worked into the constitutions of Europe and helped shape their social democracies. It came from us. The papal encyclicals on labor, it came from the Americans.
