While I don't agree with you on the necessity of constructing "a Marxism that takes Derrida into account" (in that I don't think his philosophy is _that_ important seen from the vantage point of world history, as opposed to that of a war of positions or "philosophic struggles" in intellectual scenes in rich nations & rich zones in poor nations), if you are interested in such a Marxism, here's a journal for you. I just saw the following on the Marxist Literary Group list:
