While I don't consider myself a Marxist, I still like reading about the occupied factory movement. This one is about Brazil.

Brazil: a brief history of the Flaskô workers’ struggle and the Movement of Occupied Factories
Interesting quote:
"These facts demonstrate one thing: that capitalists are not necessary for society; they are nothing but a parasitical social class. If the workers are able to democratically administer and recover a factory without bosses, following their own class interests and not the capitalist's thirst for profit, then they can administer all factories, lands and banks. They can control the country and the world so that the wealth, which is collectively produced, is shared out on an egalitarian basis."
