Socialist President of Venezuela, and Barack Obama backer, Hugo Chavez is teaming up with Iranian nutjob Ahmadinejad to start new socialist university.

Venezuela and Iran plan to start a new university program in the South American country with a focus on teaching socialist principles.

Venezuela’s government says it plans to establish the University of Civilizations under accords recently signed with Iran.

Deputy Minister for Academic Development Tibisay Hung says the program will begin in Caracas at the existing, tuition-free Bolivarian University.

Hung tells the state-run Bolivarian News Agency that the aim is to promote discussion of “21st century socialism.” Venezuela announced the program on Monday.

There will no doubt be a flood of American academics ready to teach there.  Though one wonders why we need yet another educational institution hawking the miseries of socialism on the planet when we already have UCLA, UCSC and all the other bastions of radical leftism attracting socialists from all corners of the world to the U.S.
