First of all, my friend actually went to China on a school trip and brought me back a Little Red Book. Of course it's a piece of commie **** that's starting to fall apart even though I've barely even read it.

Secondly, back in my junior year of high school I had a US History teacher who was very republican, so I started signing all my work Premier *My Last Name*, and I made my very own commie notebook. It was red, with a cutout of a hammer and sickle I'd printed from a computer taped to the front, and it had the pictures of famous communist leaders taped to the back (Stalin, Trotsky, Castro, etc.) I'd bought three sets of dividers and used only the red and yellow ones, and at the back of the notebook I'd included a full, printed out copy of the Communist Manifesto. My teacher was not amused. Or at least he wouldn't admit it. I know he actually was.
