It would be interesting to look at any basis of the OP presumption, assuming any exists.

If the distinction is private vs public sector or academic intellectuality, one could easily visualize the latter leaning left.

What if I told you that many left intellectuals, like Marx for example, were for decentralization.

Its all relative. If you were trapped on an isolated island with nothing more than several bags of vegetable seeds, would you rather have Richard Dawkins as your island mate or Joe the farmer.

I am Libertarian, so that is one extremely smart person that is not socialist. I am the biggest fan of capitalism you will ever meet.

You're Half right. Scientists and smart people are left. It's just dumb people like you can't understand it so to put your mind at ease, you call us "socialists". That's actually the story behind "sour grapes". Wouldn't want those damn smart people anyway!
