Does right-wing populism have some traditional left-wing ideas?

Like (qualified) opposition to the free-market, anti-establishment tendency and anti-war. This always seemed strange to me how neo-con people could seemingly change their ideology over a few years.

I'm interested in the responses from both left and right. I'll be polite to all those who do likewise. :-)

Depends on the left wing. Anarcho-Communists are for no markets, but mutualists and Collectivists are fine with markets, mutualists are in fact in favour of free-markets, just not capitalist free-markets, instead worker owned businesses democractically governed.

Right Wing populism DOES though have somewhat in common with the Authoritarian Left like Maoists, Stalinists, etc.
