== Removal of unsourced material as per BLP == 

 I have removed the following snippet: "as he was determined (and later confirmed) to be a Libertarian". This was flagged as "Citation needed" because "Claim is unsourced and also rather imprecise: A "libertarian" in the broadest sense of the term or a self-described adherent of Libertarianism (I couldn't find anything via Google to back up the latter claim)? "Confirmed" to be so back then or later? By whom?"  

 A google search for "wolf biermann politische einstellung" led me to this spiegel article from 1976: http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print/d-41067873.html . A sample snippet with a quick translation: 
 :Wolf Biermann ist für die Enteignung der Kapitalisten, für die Vergesellschaftung der Produktionsmittel, für die Arbeiter-und-Bauern-Macht  aber er ist gegen "die Diktatur einer Handvoll Politiker" und für "Rosas rote Demokratie", wie er es vor den 7000 Zuhörern in der Sporthalle in Köln nicht nur mit seinen Liedern, sondern auch mit leidenschaftlichen Worten bekannt hat. Für Wolf Biermann ist die DDR der bessere deutsche Staat, er ist die große Hoffnung auf den Sozialismus in ganz Deutschland, eben gerade darum, weil hier das kapitalistische Eigentum abgeschafft wurde. 
 :Wolf Biermann is for the dispossession of the capitalists, for the collectivization of the means of production, for the worker-and-farmer power  but he is against the "dictatorship of a handful of politicians" and in favor of "Rosa [Luxembourg]'s red democracy", as he made public in front of 7,000 audience members in the Sporthalle in Cologne with not only his songs but also with his passionate words. For Wolf Biermann, the German Democratic Republic is the better German state, it is the great hope for socialism in all of Germany precisely because here capitalistic property has been abolished. 

 Wolf Biermann was, at least in 1976, a committed communist who was deeply critical of the hypocrisies of the East German government in its failure to live up to the promises of real, existing socialism. I will try and add further citations to the article in the coming days in my Copious Free Time. -
