Reds die, but revolutionary lived (7)

I believe the answer is:

resided

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'lived' is the definition.
(residing is a kind of living)

'reds die but revolutionary' is the wordplay.
'reds die' anagrams to 'RESIDED'.
Though, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for resided that I've seen before include "Abode" , "stayed" , "Lived" , "Sojourned" , "Dwelt" .)
