 Sun-Uranus Reactionary - StarIQ.com
In politics, we call such an individual a "reactionary," which means someone radically opposed to progress and liberalism and, by definition, all things Uranian.
It may seem that the Sun-Uranus person wants to introduce changes all over the place, but their desire to change things is actually a reaction to changes that are already occurring.
The reactionary’s fear of change extends to a fear that one group or another (Uranus) is trying to change his identity (Sun)—i.e., his thoughts, values and convictions.

 Should Revolutionaries Work in Reactionary Trade Unions?
In their opinion, declamations and angry outcries (such as uttered by K. Homer in a particularly "solid" and particularly stupid manner) against "reactionary" and "counter-revolutionary" trade unions are sufficient "proof" that it is unnecessary and even inexcusable for revolutionaries and Communists to work in yellow, social-chauvinist, compromising and counter-revolutionary trade unions of the Legien type.
To refuse to work in the reactionary trade unions means leaving the insufficiently developed or backward masses of workers under the influence of the reactionary leaders, the agents of the bourgeoisie, the labour aristocrats, or "workers who have become completely bourgeois" (cf.
This ridiculous "theory" that Communists should not work in reactionary trade unions reveals with the utmost clarity the frivolous attitude of the "Left" Communists towards the question of influencing the "masses", and their misuse of clamour about the "masses".

 Anti-Globalization Is A Reactionary Movement
Today still the socialist solution is the shortcut dream of those who do not want to deal with the tough work on issues like taxation, to achieve social justice in a *property-owning democracy*, and are looking for a socialist panacea, nowadays if not in a state socialism, then in a liberal democratic socialism.
Let's go back to the topic of anti-globalization reactionary movement, which is basically a movement led by the remnants of the left in the 21st Century.
On the one hand the globalization of the world economy is moving ahead, and on the other hand this reactionary movement is advocating the return to the past as its lost paradise.

 Worker-communist Party of Iran - Federalism is a Reactionary Slogan, by: Mansoor Hekmat
Since ethnicity and ethnocentrism don't have strong roots and foundations in Iranian society and the demand for federalism does not have any place amongst people, the main groups and movements in society don't move in that direction.
On the other side of this reactionary wheeling and dealing stands the Iranian nationalist groups which see themselves faced with the Kurdish question as one of the main obstacles to establishing their future rule.
It is clear that from now on, any organisation that consciously and persistently defends federalism or the ethnic organisation of society must be considered reactionary.

 Radical Bush vs. reactionary Kerry - The Boston Globe
Kerry is a liberal Democrat, but in this campaign he is running as a reactionary: one who wants to reverse course -- to go back to the attitudes and practices that guided US policy when Clinton and the elder George Bush were in office.
Bush is prepared to act unilaterally when US interests require it; Kerry cites the "global test" that any American action must meet.
In this first presidential election since the Twin Towers fell, Americans have a momentous choice: the reactionary "realism" of a man who says 9/11 didn't change him or the radical urgency of a man who says 9/11 changed everything.

 The Reactionary Restriction of Justice in Colombia
The troops were members of the Colombian Army’s 17th Brigade, largely located in the Antioquia department, which has been one of the largest and most well-established strongholds of the right-wing paramilitaries since the late 1990s.
In a reactionary manner, the army’s 17th Brigade responded to its humiliation not by entering the jungle to target the FARC-EP in a retaliatory campaign, but rather by attacking Colombia’s original peace community San José de Apartadó.
As a result, the government does not want the facts, or any details, of the massacre to be disseminated into the domestic and international sphere and has worked to prevent information from leaving the community.

 WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A REACTIONARY... THE WAVE FOR THE FUTURE
“Reactionary (or reactionist) is a political epithet typically applied to extreme ideological conservatism, especially that which wishes to return to a real or imagined old order of things, and which is willing to use coercive means to do so.
The term is primarily used as a term of opprobrium (groups rarely identify themselves as reactionary), meant to assert the idea that the opposition is based in merely reflexive politics rather than responsive and informed views.
The main feature that separates the Reactionary from the counterfeit conservative is that the NeoCon believes in the State as a solution, just as the Progressive; while the Reactionary rejects government as a reliable steward of the public trust.

 indymedia beirut | Reactionary terror continues in Lebanon | 25.06.2005 20:56
They also utilize such methods to build up some sort of reactionary mass support and to accuse, weaken and isolate their bourgeois opponents, such as Syria, which seems to be the case in the present-day situation in Lebanon.
Secondly, reactionary bourgeosie and its apparata of repression have further refined and developed this practice in the age of imperialism.

 What is a "Reactionary"?
His new status was that of a slave laborer who received the bare minimum of subsistence: for backbreaking work in 1935 a peasant household earned from the kolkhoz 247 rubles a year, just enough to purchase one pair of shoes.
Admittedly, it's arguable that, in a Russian context, this was not at all "reactionary," i.e., turning the peasant back into a serf, but genuinely evolutionary, i.e., mutating him into a slave.
Hence the "reactionary" threat came from, not the New Right fundamentalists (who proved faithful pro-censorship, anti-sex partners), but the advocates of the original feminist position -- the "liberal" feminists, as they were (rightfully) called by sideliners.

 Reactionary Radicals » Introduction to “Look Homeward, America”
These reactionary radicals—a capacious category in which I include Dorothy Day, Carolyn Chute, Grant Wood, Eugene McCarthy, Wendell Berry, and a host of other cultural and political figures—have sought to tear down what is artificial, factitious, imposed by remote and often coercive forces and instead cultivate what is local, organic, natural, and family-centered.
In our almost useless political taxonomy, some are labeled “right wing” and others are tucked away on the left, but in fact they are kin: embodiments of an American cultural-political tendency that is wholesome, rooted, and based in love of family, community, local self-rule, and a respect for permanent truths.
They diagnosed the twentieth century’s homicidal malady: the all-powerful state, which in the name of the workers of the world, the master race, and even making the world safe for democracy had slaughtered tens, nay hundreds, of millions of human beings whose misfortune it had been to run afoul of ideologues wielding state power.
