Reactionary Modernism is a culturally right-wing, pro-technology and in other aspects mostly varied ideology that is the son of 
Reactionarism. Reactionary Modernism believes that the rejection of 
culturally liberal Enlightenment Thought values and the support of technological advancement are not contradictory and sometimes can even be complementary.
History
Reactionary Modernism in Europe
Jeffrey Herf coined the term 
Reactionary Modernism in order to discuss the paradoxical European enthusiasm for Totalitarianism & Völkish nationalism, yet also wanted new technological & political innovations & concepts.
Reactionary Modernism has also been explored as a theme in both literature, & in broader political culture in places like Great Britain, Romania, Greece, Sweden, and Spain.
Reactionary Modernism has also been used to acknowledge the European philosophical, cultural & political thought during the time in which Fascism was on the rise.
They are also often very spiritual, believing in many belief systems ranging from deism/pantheism to paganism to any of the Abrahamic religions, which they believe to be necessary for building a harmonious and strong society. They additionally emphasize on everyone abiding to the laws of nature.
Modern Reactionary Modernism
Herf believes that Reactionary Modernism can be seen in the current governments of Iran under the Ayatollahs and Iraq under Saddam Hussein. Extremist Islamist groups such as Al Qaeda also display elements of Reactionary Modernism.

Criticism
The term Reactionary Modernism was criticized by Thomas Rohkrämer who was qouted for saying "It is simply not strange, or 'paradoxical' to reject the 
Enlightenment & embrace technology at the same time', but a common practice in nineteenth- & twentieth-century Germany as well as in many other countries. Instrumental reason and technology are available for an endless number of different purposes, many of which are not humane, or enlightened"
Roger Griffin also criticized the term by arguing that "
Fascism as an ideology and movement can be seen as proposing a radical alternative to 
Liberal & 
Socialist visions of what form modernity ideally should take. It represents an uncompromising rejection both of thorough-going liberalism and extreme 'modernism', whose logical culmination it sees as relativism, anomie, subjectivism, and the loss of definitive meaning and 'eternal' values. It is an attempt to re-anchor modern human beings within that highly modern phenomenon, the Totalitarian state through consciously manipulated historical, national & racist myth".
