I had a Jungian moment coming upon this when I was sneaking about your profile, because I had just discovered this man this morning! I do not understand how sentences can be "gray" though. And there seems to be a very popular association between DDR and GRAYNESS. Perhaps it was repeated ad nauseum in cappie media while the republic existed, that it was just sooo gray, as opposed to the American side full of bright and colourful adverts that somehow make a place more aesthetically pleasing (don't know how).

His fantastically aggressive polemics against 'den Klassenfeind' in the west were "gray" in that, although he was always correct in his historical narrative and intelligent criticisms, he always defended the "Socialist fatherland" of East Germany, which at that time was a farce. He was desperately trying to cling to something that was a reality in formality only. East Germany might have still had all the "socialist" social program benefits that the Red Army brought with it, but it was a society so caught up in carreerist, cynical line-towing bureaucrat-ism and mass petty materialism that any honest and upstanding proletarian revolutionary living there should have felt the obligation to capitulate the hopeless SED Party's dictatorial power and build a genuine communist political opposition.
