Reactionary movements

Reactionary movements are social and political responses that seek to resist or reverse changes in society, often aiming to return to a previous state believed to be better or more stable. These movements typically arise in reaction to progressive changes, such as advancements in civil rights, social norms, or government policies. Reactionaries often advocate for traditional values and structures, viewing contemporary shifts as threats to cultural, moral, or national integrity. They can manifest in various forms, including political parties, grassroots organizations, or broader social movements that emphasize nostalgia for the past and skepticism towards modernity.
