The humanist intellectuals all over the world (especially in the USA) should do their best to bring out the viciousness of the corrupt ideology called communism and the corrupt/cruel actions carried out by their leaders. e.g. Mao, Stalin, Castro But we see a chilling silence on the issue of human rights violations carried out by the followers of communism [1],[2] by most of the intellectuals (mostly humanities professors) in USA who are very keen on criticizing USA for whatever perceived/projected censorship and violation of human rights in USA. We must not forget that the USA has served the world by taking a stance against this vicious ideology called communism and its equally vicious followers. We must raise this issue every time USA and capitalist free and open market based democracy gets criticized in favor of communism/socialism by the communists/socialists or what they call the useful idiots [3]. I do not say USA has not done anything bad. But in comparison to the communists it's much, much better. No doubt, USA can be improved (e.g. wealth inequality) but not by communist/socialist manner. I don't live USA but I thank USA for getting my country off the vicious hooks of the communism and guide us to a more humane path.

I see plenty of criticism of the human rights abuses carried out by China and others. And on the other hand, I don't understand the supposed link between authoritarian regimes like China's, and socialist policies like single-payer health care. A significant chunk of the US's voter base seems to think that single-payer health care leads to dictators rewriting history. I don't get it.

  Popular support in the US for single-payer health tends to be in the realm of 70%. That it isn't implemented is more about insurance & medical industry lobbying.

    I can't find any support for that: http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2014/may/14/ralph-nader/70-years-most-americans-have-supported-single-paye/ http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2014/may/14/r... At the present, I'd expect essentially all Republican voters to oppose it, and plenty of Democrats and independents do too.

Because they are U.S. citizens, they live here, pay taxes here, etc. The Chinese government is not under their power, like the USA is by being citizens of it.

  But aren't they supposed to lead/guide/educate the public about the activities of the communists/socialists from outside/inside who are keen on destroying the free market based good humane democracy in the USA? Where were these intellectuals (mostly humanities professors) when the USA was being attacked from within during the occupy movement? The occupy movement was hijacked by the corrupt and vicious communists/socialists beyond salvation. It's fortunate for the citizens of USA and for the entire world too that this movement failed. But we did see that these intellectuals, were on the forefront to actually mislead the people to go behind the occupy. Although, some points raised by the occupy movement were good, their overall direction got more aligned with vicious elements. edit: typos
