Polkagris.nu is a website about selfactive struggle with a focus on the workplace. It started with circulation of experience from work, and the struggle against it, in the candy (craft)production in a small town in the south of Sweden.

"All work and no play make all of us very dull. A few people benefit, while the large majority of us do not. We drudge in misery for a few lousy bucks, trading away our ability to rule our own lives. Polkagrisar is a method for spreading experiences of work, as well as experiences of struggle against it."
Most of the content is in Swedish, but their is an expanding english section. The last posting was almost entierly in English. I thought I would post it here...
