Call to Arms
Across the globe astute observers of politics and society are witnessing both the steady march of freedom and the steady assault on human liberty. Geographic borders are blurred but battle lines are not.
Not by coincidence The Reactionary was born in the heart of Old Europe and is philosophically steeped in Western ideals of liberty and virtue. Editors, writers and contributors have a broad range of education and experience across business, economics, government, history, law, media, military, philosophy and politics.
Why "Reactionary?"
Originating at the time of the French Revolution, the term reactionary also came into vogue among twentieth century socialists bent on denigrating anyone who resisted their dystopian visions for society. Times have changed but leftists today employ similar invective against anyone who unapologetically takes a stand for Western values.
We believe it is time to stare down the threat of being branded by a decaying socialist fringe and to stop repackaging bold convictions to conform to the labelling constraints of petty authoritarians in ivory towers.
The time has come to recapture the power of language by defining our own terms and to wield that power again as a force for moral clarity in the cause of freedom.
Cause
The Reactionary develops original content and calls attention to insightful analysis and commentary on matters of international politics, economics, media, philosophy and culture.
The Reactionary is dedicated to providing a desperately needed counterpoint to the leftist dogma that prevails in the international “mainstream” media (IMSM) as well as in academia, government, multilateral institutions and many non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
Next to being a provocative web journal, the Reactionary aims to launch programs in international media markets as well as partner with local organizations and leaders to advance the cause of liberty and to elevate human dignity.
In a world where the blessings of liberty are given to but a small fraction of humanity, The Reactionary is on the cutting edge of defending Western values and subverting leftist indoctrination.
