The prominent German Marxist, Robert Steigerwald, is author of many books on contemporary social philosophy, member of the editorial boards of "Marxistische Bl=84tter" and the "Marx-Engels-Foundation". We reproduce a letter he wrote to a colleague on the question of whether the German Democratic Republic (GDR) was a socialist country. Lucien S=8Ave's work, Pour une Critique de la Raison Bio=82tique (Editions Odille Jacob, 1994) is the French author's most recent contribution to creative Marxist thought. In this issue of the Post, M. S=8Ave proposes a questionnaire on the state of Marxism in North America. We hope our readers will respond to the questionnaire by writing to Carl Shames, 609 Canon Dr., Kensington, CA, 510-525-0276; e-mail: <cshames-AT-idiom.com>. We continue our discussion of Russia and the former Soviet Union with two position papers. Mili Nikolaevitch Gretski, of the Institute of Philosophy in Moscow, presents a theory of the nature of Soviet socialism. Vladimir Shevchenko, of the Philosophy Department of the Russian Academy of State Administration in Moscow, argues for the recognition in international law for a Russian "superethnos" that has evolved on the basis of the Russian and Soviet empires. Dan Goldstick proposes a "Polemic" in which he wonders how postmodernism differs from "Second World opportunists" who once espoused Marxism and now reject it.

The topic: "The Morality of Capitalism". Milton Fisk, of the University of Indiana at Bloomington, will give a paper. Call for papers: SPSM will be organizing sessions at a variety of meetings and conferences, depending on the amount of interest and the willingness of potential organizers. Other papers are needed for the December APA meeting on the topic, "The Morality of Capitalism". It would be interesting to have a series of sessions, including at the Midwest and West Coast APA sessions, on this same topic. Deadlines for all of the above: November 15.
