Conservative Revolution
The term "Conservative Revolution" refers to a political and cultural movement that emerged in the early 20th century, primarily in Germany. It sought to counter the effects of modernity, liberalism, and socialism by promoting traditional values, nationalism, and a strong state. Key figures associated with this movement include Oswald Spengler and Arthur Moeller van den Bruck, who emphasized the importance of cultural identity and historical continuity.
This movement gained traction during the interwar period, as many people felt disillusioned with the outcomes of World War I and the Weimar Republic. The Conservative Revolution influenced various political ideologies, including Fascism and National Socialism, as it called for a return to a more hierarchical and organic society.
