Inflamed by a revolutionary? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

red

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'inflamed' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'a revolutionary?' is the second definition.
(red can informally mean a communist)

'by' is the link.

(Other definitions for red that I've seen before include "Ruby" , "Colour of blood" , "- Cross; - admiral" , "Crimson" , "Colour of Merlot wine" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
