1. A reactionary is, generally speaking, someone who is not only opposed to change, but wants to roll the clock back on any changes that have already happened. This stands in contrast to a conservative, who wants to maintain the status quo.
2. In what is either an Orwellian attempt to rewrite language, or the result of the defense mechanism known as projection, the word "reactionary" is also used by reactionaries as a slur against anyone who is not a reactionary.

1. The economic policies of Ronald Reagan were reactionary, because they rolled back many of the regulations and protections that had been created during the 20th century, based on the very same laissez faire economic theories that had previously resulted in the Great Depression.
2. I hate these reactionaries who advocate an expansion of the rights of marginalized people. We should send them back to the days when no one ever heard or cared about trans women getting stabbed to death; that would teach them who was boss.

A term used by college socialists and neo-Marxists to describe anyone with political views to the right of Mao. The word has its roots in the Communist model of history, where all of human history is supposedly one long class struggle between the working class and the bourgeois.
Chuck took an Uber on the Uber strike day! And last week, he told me he doesn’t believe in a 90% tax rate for the rich. He’s such a reactionary.

Someone who "reacts" to change. Specifically reacts to social and cultural progress. A rejection of structure based on objective reality.
This is seen often in the far-left and is most commonly attributed to elements of it that reject social progress (ironically calling their rejection of progress as progress) and prefer a return to no formal social structure or culture, similar to primitivism. Ironically, as typical in leftist circles, the left tries to take such words and weaponize them against their enemies by giving them the opposite meaning. Similar to "fair-share" to the leftist meaning 0% taxes for some citizens and 80% taxes for the ebil nazi working class.

Antifa, and the modern uneducated leftist, is reactionary to the progress of Western society, and wished to return to a form of communal unstructured society often found in chimpanzee society.

The one who is able to understand that authority and discipline are immutable moral values, not needing a government or even a technocrat to tell him what is right or wrong. It aims at a society without the evils of modernity: representative mass democracy, technological vices, liberalism, feminism, gender equality, socialism, materialism, consumerism, narcissism, cosmopolitanism, ecumenism, mass media, the myth of success and progress, populism, Global financial system, globalization . Someone beyond the right-left spectrum, evils of The French Revolution. It proposes a simpler life, being able to develop within its true potential, a true existence. It can grudgingly accept any decentralized state, as long as it does not violate its culture, dignity and morality. One who is anti-system and believes in a rebirth of an organic society.
