It is to their own detriment that researchers have neglected to look into the cluster "Conservative Revolution" for a long time. This is mostly due to its alleged topical vagueness and inherent contradictions. However, it is precisely the scintillating ambiguity of the two elements that make up the term that contributed decisivley to its resonance. It allowed the adherents of different camps to swear by the same colors and achieve unity. For "Conservative Revolutionaries", form followed signification and even sported a metaphysical dimension - precisely since nihilistic ideas had a high presence in Weimar culture. Simultaneously, hermetically sealed rhetoric protected the relevant texts against critical inspection. Due to the relentlessness of ideology conflicts, this was required ingredient for political success. The deliberately chosen language intensified the connection with a disillusioned public, while at the same time simulating a type of intellectual modernity that seemed advisable, even required in view of a powerful discourse of the future. It is no accident that recent abvocates of the radical right established a connection with the ideas of "Conservative Revolution". Unveiling their deliberate self-riddle is, therefore, not just academically appealing, but also politically significant.

长期以来，研究人员忽视了对“保守革命”集群的研究，这对他们自己是有害的。这主要是由于其所谓的主题模糊和内在矛盾。然而，正是构成这个术语的两个元素的闪烁的模糊性，决定性地促成了它的共鸣。它允许不同阵营的信徒以相同的颜色宣誓，实现团结。对于“保守革命者”来说，形式追随意义，甚至炫耀一种形而上学的维度——正是因为虚无主义思想在魏玛文化中高度存在。同时，密封的修辞保护了相关文本不受批判性检查。由于意识形态冲突的无情，这是政治成功的必要因素。刻意选择的语言加强了与幻想破灭的公众的联系，同时模拟了一种似乎可取的知识现代性，甚至是考虑到未来的强大话语所必需的。最近激进右翼的倡导者与“保守革命”的思想建立了联系，这并非偶然。因此，揭开他们刻意的自我谜题不仅在学术上具有吸引力，而且在政治上也具有重要意义。
