Never mind. I would like to know where are those Reactionaries who perceive the mortal threat, and what are they doing about it. Or maybe they haven't perceived anything yet?   |
You cannot be a traditionalist and a revolutionary at the same time.The meaning of political reaction is resistance to change. However a traditionalist can be
counter-revolutionary.Take for instance the Catholic counter-reformation ("contra-reforma"): its purpose was to counter a revolution (the protestant Reformation).

Well, their action is quicker because any change to society is suspect to them the very first moment they see it. They donīt wait for the consequences: they know instinctively what is right and what is wrong. Hereīs an example:traditionalists didnīt wait for divorce to destroy a couple of generations to raise their voice, like so many conservatives did. They opposed it from the start and based upon their principles.
