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.
History
The Conservative Revolution, or the "Konservative Revolution" in German, refers to a cultural and intellectual movement that emerged in Germany during the early 20th century, particularly in the aftermath of World War I and the Weimar Republic. This movement was not a cohesive and organized school of thought but rather a collection of intellectual currents, encompassing various thinkers who shared common concerns and critiques of the existing political, social, and cultural order.
Amid the social and political upheavals following World War I, some intellectuals grew disillusioned with the liberal democratic values associated with the Weimar Republic. They perceived the democratic system as weak, vulnerable to extremist ideologies, and unable to address the profound challenges facing Germany. Influenced by the trauma of the war, economic hardships, and the perceived erosion of traditional values, these thinkers sought alternatives that transcended both liberal democracy and Marxist socialism.
The Conservative Revolutionaries were diverse, including figures like Arthur Moeller van den Bruck, Oswald Spengler, Ernst Jünger, Carl Schmitt, and others. They were united by a rejection of what they considered the shallow materialism and individualism of modern society. These thinkers advocated for a return to organic, communal structures rooted in tradition and cultural identity. They also expressed a deep concern for the loss of spiritual values and sought to restore a sense of meaning and purpose to societal life.
While the Conservative Revolutionaries did not form a unified political movement, their ideas and critiques influenced various political factions. Some thinkers associated with the movement, like Carl Schmitt, were sympathetic to authoritarianism and believed in the need for a strong state. Others, such as Ernst Jünger, were more focused on the transformative potential of individual action and the creation of new, more authentic forms of community.
The rise of the Nazi regime and its authoritarian rule overshadowed the Conservative Revolution, as many of its proponents faced suppression, co-optation, or exile. The movement's ideas, however, continued to influence conservative thought in post-war Germany and beyond, leaving a lasting impact on discussions about culture, politics, and society. Despite its complexities and internal contradictions, the Conservative Revolution remains a significant chapter in the intellectual history of Germany between the wars.

- «We can conclude that through these events the three latest peoples of the Western world attempted to achieve the three ideal forms of existence enunciated in the famous motto: ‘Liberty, equality, and brotherhood.’ These ideals appear in the political programs of liberal parliamentarism, social democracy, and authoritarian socialism. In each case it seemed that such ideals were a new concept for these peoples, whereas in reality the ideals were the purest and most extreme expression of their wholly personal and immutable patterns of life.» —Oswald Spengler, Prussianism and Socialism.
