conservative revolution

The Conservative Revolution was a cultural and intellectual movement in early 20th-century Germany that challenged traditional values and liberal ideas following World War I. It sought to revitalize national identity, emphasize hierarchy, authority, and tradition, and often promoted a sense of once-morality and cultural continuity. While it shared some reactionary ideas, it aimed to transform German society without necessarily advocating for a specific political system. The movement influenced various thinkers and artists, contributing to ideological currents that eventually intersected with nationalist and radical movements of the time.
