Revolutionary Conservatism
“The same soldiers who fought as heroes for four years under the black-white-red banner turned spineless and impotent under the red flag. This revolution did not impart fortitude to its adherents; it robbed them of it.”

Revolutionary Conservatism is an authoritarian, nationalist, militarist and Anti-Enlightment ideology of the German Conservative Revolution movement of 1918-1933. It opposes liberalism, egalitarianism and democracy and seeks to create a conservative counter-revolution against rationalism, scientism and Enlightenment values, emphasising romanticism, nationalism and the cultivation of an organic and organised society and culture.

Beliefs

Revolutionary Conservatism, also known as New Nationalism, encompasses a set of beliefs that emerged in early 20th-century Germany. It rejects both liberal democracy and Marxist socialism, seeking a Thord Position that combines traditional values with a rejection of conservative complacency. This ideology emphasizes the importance of a strong, organic community rooted in tradition and culture. It seeks to transcend the individualistic and materialistic aspects of modern society, advocating for a return to a more spiritual and hierarchical order. Revolutionary Conservatives often stress the need for a charismatic leader to guide the nation through transformative change, while also recognizing the value of organic, communal structures. They reject the Enlightenment's emphasis on rationalism and embrace a more holistic and spiritual understanding of human existence.

Revolutionary Conservatism emphasizes the significance of a shared national identity and cultural heritage, fostering a sense of unity among the people. It opposes the fragmentation of society into isolated individuals and advocates for a harmonious, hierarchical social order that respects traditional values and customs. This ideology often expresses a disdain for the perceived decadence of modernity, consumerism, and the erosion of traditional moral values. Revolutionary Conservatives believe in the necessity of a strong state that transcends party politics, providing stability and direction for the nation. They view technology and industrialization with caution, preferring a balance that preserves the organic relationship between humanity and nature. In essence, the ideology seeks a radical transformation of society, rooted in a deep appreciation for tradition, spirituality, and collective identity.
