Reactionary Theory

Reactionary Theory refers to political beliefs that favor restoring or maintaining traditional social structures and values, especially in response to perceived threats from modern changes or progressive movements. Reactionaries typically seek to revert to what they see as a better, more stable past, opposing reforms they believe could disrupt societal order. They often prioritize hierarchy, authority, and continuity, resisting rapid or radical change. Essentially, it's a mindset that looks backward and aims to preserve or restore historical norms rather than embracing innovation or reform.
