The left is more closely aligned with socialism and communism than it is with capitalism, and leftists are inherently self-contradictory in their ideological philosophy. They demand equality for all yet set themselves up as elitists who stand above the “masses,” arrogantly telling people how they should feel and live.
There’s a certain irony in this contradiction, especially when viewed through the lens of the volatile 1960s, when protests, riots, and assassinations dominated the decade. It was during this time when cultural and social criticism against the alleged conformist middle classes began in full.
