Reactionary Modernism

Reactionary Modernism is a Culturally Right-Wing, Pro-Technology and in other aspects mostly varied ideology that is the son of Reactionarism. Reactionary Modernism believes that the rejection of culturally liberal Enlightenment values and the support of technological advancement are not contradictory and sometimes can even be complementary. Reactionary Modernism can be said to be a less radical version of National Transhumanism.

Jeffrey Herf coined the term Reactionary Modernism in order to discuss the paradoxical European enthusiasm for Totalitarianism & Völkish nationalism, yet also wanted new technological & political innovations & concepts.

Reactionary Modernism has also been explored as a theme in both literature, & in broader political culture in places like Great Britain, Romania, Greece, Sweden, and Spain.

Reactionary Modernism has also been used to acknowledge the European philosophical, cultural & political thought during the time in which Fascism was on the rise.

Criticism
The term Reactionary Modernism was criticized by Thomas Rohkrämer who was qouted for saying "It is simply not strange, or 'paradoxical' to reject the Enlightenment & embrace technology at the same time', but a common practice in nineteenth- & twentieth-century Germany as well as in many other countries. Instrumental reason and technology are available for an endless number of different purposes, many of which are not humane, or enlightened"

Roger Griffin also criticized the term by arguing that "Fascism as an ideology and movement can be seen as proposing a radical alternative to Liberal & Socialist visions of what form modernity ideally should take. It represents an uncompromising rejection both of thorough-going liberalism and extreme 'modernism', whose logical culmination it sees as relativism, anomie, subjectivism, and the loss of definitive meaning and 'eternal' values. It is an attempt to re-anchor modern human beings within that highly modern phenomenon, the Totalitarian state through consciously manipulated historical, national & racist myth".
