Communists are referred to as "the reds" primarily due to the color red's association with revolutionary movements and socialism. Red flags were used during the French Revolution and later adopted by various socialist and communist parties worldwide. The color symbolizes the blood of the working class and the struggle for workers' rights, making it a potent emblem for communist ideology. Additionally, the term gained prominence during the early 20th century, especially during the Russian Revolution and the subsequent rise of communist regimes.
