Does this group still exist? And is there anyone who got a list of the material they published?

I haven't heard of them since the late 80s - they used to send out a newsletter about struggles in Scandinavia and some of their stuff was printed in Echanges. They were only 2 people, iirc, so I guess they're long gone.

I forgot to answer this earlier: Yeah, I think "Motiva Forlag" only existed for a few years in the late 80's. I'm not sure if they published anything other than those newsletters Ret Marut mentioned.

If you read Norwegian, I can recommend the earlier council communist project, the magazine Ekstremisten (The Extremist). At least issue 2 can still be found. This came out 5 years after issue 1, but they made up for it by making it a solid 150 pages, tabloid size. Sadly, issue 3 never appeared.
