A reminder that "reactionary" doesn't mean "reactive", it means a desire to return to previous social conditions. It's not reactionary to tell people who advocate mass murder to get out. It's in fact reactionary to advocate for mass murder, seeing how that's been history's norm.

seems like it must be since marxists are *the* most mad about reactionaries and their whole deal, like plastered all over the big manifesto, is the desire to return to pre-industrial communitarian social practices

Even if this was not true originally (debatable), it became inarguably true by the 21st Century. Anyone still holding on to Marxism in Current Year when it has thoroughly refuted itself by attempting to implement itself, multiple times, is just a reactionary.

is there a word that means nostalgia for a fictional imagined past?

anemoia is 99% of the way there, the 1% being that we lack a common recognition that superficial impressions of social contexts we didn't participate in are a form of creative writing
