Reactionary is an umbrella term for those who’s political ideologies seek to conserve the current structures of power. In a Marxist context this means the total opposition to any revolutionary movements and upholding capitalism, liberalism, imperialism, fascism, monarchism and/or feudalism. As such, reactionaries are usually conservative and hold a certain bygone era in high regard. This includes the veneration of classical art, traditional culture and appeals to religious thought. Certain reactionaries appose anything that can be considered modern, but where they drawn the line is often wherever is most politically convenient. However, reactionaries do not have to be “Right-Wing”, they simply must be anti-Communist for them to be reactionary. In regards to reactionaries, their stance against Socialism and Communism of the highest concern, but reactionaries also aim their hostilities toward any other movements or beliefs that threaten the status quo’s cultural and economic hegemony. This means an opposition to racial and national liberation movements, Women’s liberation, queer rights movements, labor unions, modern art/music, and cultural movements -among others.
