- Better_red_than_dead abstract "\"Better red than dead\" and \"better dead than red\" were dueling Cold War slogans which first gained currency in the United Kingdom and the United States during the late 1950s, amid debates about anti-communism and nuclear disarmament (red being the emblematic color of communism).The first phrase, \"better red than dead\", is often credited to British philosopher Bertrand Russell, but in his 1961 Has Man a Future? he attributes it to \"West German friends of peace.\" In any event, Russell agreed with the sentiment, having written in 1958 that if \"no alternative remains except communist domination of the human race, the former alternative is the lesser of two evils,\" and the slogan was adopted by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, which he helped found.The first known English-language use of either term came in 1930, long before their widespread popularity. In an editorial criticizing John E. Edgerton, a Tennessee businessman who had mandated morning prayers in his factories to help keep out \"dangerous ideas,\" The Nation sarcastically wrote: \"It is high time in any case that the workers learned to live by faith, not work. As for those weaklings who may fall by the wayside and starve to death, let the country bury them under the epitaph: Better Dead than Red.\" The first known use of \"better red than dead\" came in August 1958, when The Oakland Tribune wrote: \"The popular phrase 'better red than dead' has lost what appeal it ever had.\"With the end of the Cold War, the phrases have increasingly been repurposed as their original meanings have waned; for example, \"better dead than red\" is sometimes used as a schoolyard taunt aimed at redhaired children. . The phrase is also used by Minnesota Golden Gopher fans during sporting events as cheer against the Wisconsin Badgers, whose school colors are red and white.".
