Nietzsche. He's a reactionary but he diagnoses some of the problems of modernity correctly. He articulates the appeal of the heroic or mythic and the dearth of that in bourgeois society. The Ubermensch (not necessarily the Nazi ideal) is a reactionary response to the crisis of the death of God that needs to be overcome (ironically, I can't think of a better term off the top of my head than 'overcome', so even in my critique I'm still operating within Nietzschean terms).
