I hate to give answers cold. Think about it. When societal change takes place, someone or something leads the way and others follow, sooner or later. Someone does it differently, then others integrate the new ways. True? And once a change is underway and someone wants to turn the clock back to the old ways, what are they doing? Acting to bring about change or reacting to a change already underway? Which would you say?
A further thought: reactionaries are often thought or said to be conservative. Conservatives usually want to maintain the status quo and resist change. Reactionaries are, as the word denotes, reacting to something that has already changed.
