Hearing the word “reactionary” from a self-proclaimed leftist is a red flag, because it’s used the same way right-wingers use “woke”. Basically most can’t define it without looking it up, or explain how it applies to what they’re critiquing.
Someone who opposes either an established socialist revolution or is actively defending the capitalist system (e.g. through institutionalized violence, legislation or direct violence through military actions etc. etc.)
You seem to be thinking how a nationalist (or transnationalist if you simp for the EU) chauvinist liberal…

The EU is a union of financial capital and a bastion of it’s own reactionary neo-colonialism and imperialism…
Also you don’t sound like a socialist TBH

Oh my good lord… where the fuck do you liberals get this kind of garbage from? PragerU?
Actually based on simple observation, like the fact that I’m seemingly the only one here who has defined “reactionary”.
And since when do you get to “define” terms that you obviously don’t understand?
I’ve yet to see any evidence that you know what a reactionary is.
Read carefully, shitlib… try to keep up.

It’s common knowledge for every socialist TBH
A reactionary is somebody who wants to restore a previous status quo. Which us not something the EU is trying to do.
In the socialist/Marxist context it’s used differently just FYI
Then what does it mean?
