To be conservative is to want to conserve society in its current form. If you live in the US, this describes the moderate wing of the Republican party and the right wing of the Democratic party, but mostly the latter.
The term reactionary refers to a position to the right of mere conservation of the status quo. If implies your political vision is a negative reaction to the advances the left has achieved, hoping to roll them back to reestablish a more exploitative society.
This does not describe Chomsky. His criticism of AES is not from a position of wanting more exploitation, but less. You might describe this position as ultraleft, or just orthodox anarchist.
It is fair game to criticize this perspective, but it is not fair game to call it reactionary. (You could make an argument that ultraleft positions strengthen reactionary positions etc etc, but it's still a stretch to call the people that espouse them reactionary)
It was an honest question, I'm not trying to start anything here.
Calm down, this isn't :reddit-logo:
