Climbing equipment for boy from communist revolution (6)
I believe the answer is:
ladder
'climbing equipment' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'boy from communist revolution' is the wordplay.
'boy' becomes 'lad' (informal term for boy).
'from' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'communist' becomes 'red' (red can informally mean communist).
'revolution' is a reversal indicator.
'red' backwards is 'der'.
'lad'+'der'='LADDER'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ladder that I've seen before include "Climbing aid" , "wherewithal to rescue cat from tree" , "snag in hose" , "See 12" , "Domestic device for climbing" .)
