Many leftists perceive their abstract antagonists - "the bourgeoisie" - as being like their Father: conservative, trad, patriotic, God fearing, rugged, individualist, & irrationally opposed to rational progress. This is their (sub)conscious archetype, not based within reality
The truth is the ruling classes have nearly always been the opposite: progressive, "avant garde", skeptical, rational, class conscious, & cosmopolitan. I think this is perfectly demonstrated with Gloria Steinem's attitude towards the CIA, an enforcement arm of the ruling class: Image
Most CIA psychopaths or deep state ghouls are the types that the "typical NPR listening liberal" like Bill Maher, Rachel Maddow, or even Brain Griffin would be intrigued by & find common ground with. They're forward thinking and express their class interests, & Zietgeist, within
...the same overall agenda that is very palatable for both self-identified liberals and the "far left" alike. Both the Hillary Democrats and the CPUSA follow the same ideas!

With this concept in mind, it should hardly make their unholy alliance a surprise.
This is exactly why #MAGACommunism has now materialized in response. It's the culmination for all of us who felt like populist conservatives/MAGA always had a better intuitive sense of class struggle, or "what is *really* going on behind the scenes".
The Liberals gawk at this, dismissing it and class struggle in general, as conspiracism or outright lunacy. Sure, they & leftists know there is unfairness in the world, but higher taxes will not remove the boulder that is class domination. If anything, it hold it in place!
The Liberal "billionaire class" are openly saying they DO want to and should pay more taxes. The mega monopolies DO want to be planned and regulated. All want the mechanisms of the State to expand at the expense of the people.
The only real differences come in formal rhetoric. The leftists want "community control" over production, the World Economic Forum wants "stakeholder capitalism". One sounds more "radical" but really it's the same shit with different wrapping, & only one of these two realizes it.
Only Communists and MAGA want to see the oppressive old state mechanisms smashed, and a small but strong state based on the Will of the people take its place. It's the aforementioned Father, which stands in the way of the ruling class. The Left has it all backwards.
With time, both the Left and the entire political world will realize this. For those in the future, phenomenon like #MAGACommunism will seem like an obvious while those in our present are left dumbstruck. The picture has been taken but is un-developed.
The future is now exploding onto the present.
