He was a great proponent of egalitarianism and his conquests resulted in the spread of liberal systems like the Napoleonic code and a lot of wealth and power redistribution. If he had been successful, both the Prussians and the Russians, who were the most active rightist elements in the 19th and 20th centuries, would have lost their special qualities. It is very difficult to imagine any possible non-leftist, anti-bourgeois reaction in the event of a Napoleonic victory.

non-leftist, anti-bourgeois reaction

I regard Bonapartism as one of those to be honest.

If you are referring to the Bonapartism of Napoleon I, I am not sure what it could have been a reaction against. Liberalism had a foothold only in France, where monarchy was the traditional form of government. Napoleon's system was something like an attempt at reconciling the two.

The chaos of the French Revolution.

Exactly. It was an attempt at synthesis, much like fascism was.
