Debates on justice really took over much of political theory in the 1980s, and the question of how, if at all, justice played a role in Marx's thought was rather fraught.
Some popular work from Allen Buchanan, Richard Miller and Allen Wood (amongst many) argued that justice was not central to Marx's thought (for various reasons). Generally speaking, many in this camp take some sort of stance that Marx was doing social science so he didn't bother with moral/ethical argumentation against capitalism.
One response to the "anti-justice" camp is Geras' piece available online here.
A young Cornel West wrote (and published much later) an interesting work on ethics in Marx and Marxist thought: The Ethical Dimensions of Marxist Thought.
This article from Monthly Review might be of interest per the example in your post.
I would encourage you to keep digging through Nancy Fraser's work - she's incredible and you'll find class analysis. Following Rawls, justice was all but exclusively thought of in distributive terms for liberals, and Fraser has been a key voice in criticizing distributive justice.
