> Reactionary means right-wing, ultraconservative, old-fashioned, > unprogressive, redneck and the like. You're confusing categorical with relative concept s. 
"Right-wing" or "ultraconservative" locates a position along a spectrum 
that has "left-wing" or "ultraliberal" at the other end, according to some 
principle of categorization (e.g., private vs. government). 
"Reactionary" means "reacting against current trends".  For instance, 
in regard to school vouchers, generally liberals are reactionary.
