What is ultraconservatism?

[Juliasunday]

I read pretty much of different political movements and, mostly, I understand what they are about. Being concervative means wanting to return to the old system, right? But the "old system" was not the same in different countries. So then what ultraconservative people stand for?

[Raúl Duke]

Maybe it means going back to feudalism? :huh:

Maybe it meas going back to the "old ways" in many more issues than other conservatives?

Aren't fascists considered ultraconservatives?

Although, mainstream conservatives today aren't really "going back to the old days" in terms of economics (They're mostly only like this in social terms, so they're better defined as social conservatives). They support dismantling the welfare system (well, this aspect may be "ultraconservative" since before the 30s/20s most societies had little welfare) and government economic regulation (including eliminating protectionist policies for free market policies), also privatization.

I might be wrong but this is how I see it...

I'm not sure about any branch of conservatism called, "ultraconservatism." There are regular conservatives, neocons, paleoconservatives, and libertarian conservatives, etc.

I suppose the term ultra-conservative does not actually refer to a unique ideology, but rather is a perjoritive term for someone who is extremely right-wing but not all the way fascist, the same way "Stalinist" is not really an ideology, but a term used for a Marxist-Leninist who is very authoritarian.

I'm not sure if the British National Party counts as fascist or simply far-right, but you can learn a lot about the far-right movement by reading their list of political positions here, under the "policies" section:
