In political science, a reactionary or a reactionist is a person who holds political views that favor a return to the status quo ante—the previous political state of society—which the person believes possessed positive characteristics that are absent from contemporary society.

Reactionaries hate democracy because it gives power to those they seek to exploit.

Can I be an economic reactionnary for the 60s? While keeping the better (but still terrible) social rights of today.

That's not looking backwards though; that's looking to make a more equitable future for everyone.

In other words, the opposite of reactionary politics.
