Yes, for an automatic, it is hydraulic fluid, which is transmission fluid, and it is red. All auto tranny fluid is red.
Some manual trannies do use hydraulic fluid, like my beemer.
The only type of power steering fluid that is red is actually transmission fluid, like that used in my Subie.

Most of them are, yes. They do it to diferentiate between the other fluids, like oil and antifreeze.
Not just for mechanics, you as well as the car driver or owner incase there is a leak.

One or two might be communist, but I don't think they all are. Try to keep politics out of the conversation, please.
