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
