Honecker was often the subject of jokes for his dry, plain-spoken style and rather uninspiring speeches. Honecker also had some rather eccentric quotes such as "Neither an ox nor a donkey is able to stop the progress of socialism." Although he headed an oppressive communist regime, Honecker was one of the few communist leaders who was not a participant in mass murder, and under his administration the DDR had the most open society and the highest standard of living in the eastern bloc. However he remains infamous for his involvement in the Berlin Wall.
