"Not exactly a red diaper baby". What, say you, is the difference between 
'not exactly' and 'not'?
"...on the fringes of the political struggle" means near the edge but still 
part of.
Why was "Hub fired from a picture".
Sasha meeting Hub near the end of the war rapping political ponderings at him.

Hub fighting for the CSU, Sasha giving him support. This is after she has, 
according to you, opted out of the struggle.

The paranoia of Frenesi's childhood - "as house receptionist...list of fake 
names" we are talking mid 50s here and Sasha and Hub are still part of a 
covert network in which time both of them "suffered at the hands of the 
same son of a bitch..." Since the CSU was defeated in 1947-8 we can guess 
that Hub joined IATSE in the early 50s, yet they are still part of the 
covert radical scene in the mid 50s.

Whether they finally became politically quiescent or not is really 
irrelevant to the core issue which is how comparable are their "turns". The 
parents make necessary compromises but still hang out in the same circles, 
the daughter observes one form of solidarity (not crossing picket lines) 
while earning her bread and butter performing acts of deliberate betrayal.
