They have an odd dislike for the people who tend to hold the levers of power in a capitalist system.

It's a cult of victimology. See Israel. They supported Israel back in the day, after the holocaust, when the Jews were victims. Once Israel become the regional power and a beacon for commerce in the region the liberals (on a global, one world scale) turned hostile. Can't have these victims actually becoming success stories...it would undercut their dependence on their liberal benefactors.
It's all about control.
The libertarian wing of the conservatives, to contrast, is about individual liberty and responsibility. Unknown concepts to some on the left.
