A minor semantic point: wouldn't advocating a return to the ancient Nordic race make them racial reactionaries rather than racial conservatives?

Taking the British National Party as an example of a racial conservative group, we see that they endeavour to PRESERVE the white race. They believe the master race (or, in this case, the race that somehow deserves ownership of the UK) is extant, and must be protected. On the other hand, the Nazi wished to RESTORE a racial standard that they believed had been long buried.
