It means that it is better to die than to be a communist. It is a phrase reflective of the attitudes of Cold War America, in which many people felt that they would rather have a nuclear Holocaust than have "communists" take over the world. Obviously there were many more options than that.

Which is better red dead or just cause 2?

Well, Red Dead is better if you like Old West themed games. One advantage I would say that Just Cause 2 has over Red Dead is that you travel way faster in Just Cause 2 than in Red Dead. When I say that you travel way faster I mean that Just Cause 2 has speed boats, fighter jets, and sports cars. Red Dead has horses.
