FWIW: left/right, totally meaningless in today's discussion of the political spectrum.
Jimmy Dore was asked, "What do you do when a Trump Voter wants to join our Union." He responded, "Declare VICTORY".
It would be a "good thing" if we'd stop using meaningless and undefined terms in a political debate that is really about class and the dictatorship of the Oligarchy. (Synonymous with Plutocracy, but if someone wants to educate me with an essay...)
The post Liberal Order substack uses scholarly references to the term liberal. I use it colloquially and while I subscribe to the post label order I admit I struggle with it. Professors Deneen Vermeulen and Pippen are debating ideas beyond my ken .
That said I agree with your point that it is now a class struggle and that our colloquial use of the terms liberal and conservative are misleading and probably intentionally misleading.
It depends on who and what you include as the Overclass. The folks in Washington are whores to their donors and as such they are part of the Overclass's rule but certainly do not have the ultimate power. The plutocracy has the ultimate power.
Over class? Since you object to the left, yes?

But you have secret knowledge of who I am which is reassuring
