Reactionaryism

Reactionarism or Reactionary is an ideological label representing those on the far-right of the cultural spectrum. A reactionary believes that maintenance of cultural heritage is a fundamental part of a good society, but unlike a Conservative, a reactionary sees select modern institution as being antithetical to that goal and a reactionary is willing to go against such institutions. As such a reactionaries could be described as wanting to return to a "previous state of heritage", thus getting a reputation of "Wanting to turn things back".

History
Reactionary started, as the name implies, as a reaction to the French Revolution, identifying monarchist parliamentarians opposed to the revolution. In this time, Reactionary organized opposition to the progressive sociopolitical and economic changes brought by the revolution; and they fought to restore the temporal authority of the Church and Crown. Since then, however, "Reactionary" tends to be used more as a pejorative by progressive and socialist political movements, but the term "neo-reactionary" has more recently been applied to, and sometimes a self-description of, an informal group of online political theorists known as the Dark Enlightenment.
