She's no serious revolutionary (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mildred

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

'she's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'no serious revolutionary' is the wordplay.
'no serious' becomes 'mild' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'revolutionary' becomes 'red' (red can informally mean communist).
'mild'+'red'='MILDRED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mildred that I've seen before include "Girl" , "Woman" , "lady?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
