>_Against the Current_, _Capitalism Nature Socialism_, _International
>Socialist Review_, _Monthly Review_, _Socialist Register_, _Science &
>Society_, etc. falls into the first category.

I don't disagree with these categories, but my specific concern is do these pubs (or others) actually have appeal for organic intellectuals or are they really for people who possess the academic skills to read them? If you look at their editorial boards and writers, who are they? Who are they writing for really? Who understands them anf finds them interesting?
