I don't think so. I know in Korea, "red" is used to denote "communists" by the conservatives but in the west, people just say "communist." I have only heard of the term "red" for communist being used in my history classes (but it does indeed mean communist in English). In my 5 years of studying French, I have never encountered the word "red" being used for communist, so I guess even if it is used, it is extremely outdated.
Edit: Yes, it can mean that. However, it is a perjorative term.

In another question (Ils sont rouges), I respond They are flushed, and I get wrong answer. In which cases can I certainly use flush?
