The group sent delegates to the Third Congress of the Comintern , but refused to join the Communist Party Of Great Britain on the grounds of the latter's Parliamentarianism and aim to join the Labour Party . The APCF later declared itself against " Leninism ", which it claimed had distorted any gains made by the October Revolution . The group began publishing ''Commune'', with contributions from Left Communist s across Europe, and moved towards Council Communism . Aldred left in 1933, claiming that parliamentarianism was finished, and there was therefore no point in an anti-parliamentary group. He later founded the United Socialist Movement . Adopting an increasingly Anarcho-communist outlook, the group supported the Spanish Popular Front , working with '' Freedom '', but later some anarchists in the APCF split away, and the group adopted a more critical approach to the CNT . It opposed World War II , during which it published the ''Solidarity'' newspaper, but dissolved in 1945 when the revolutionary upsurge they had predicted failed to occur. Some former members founded a Workers' Open Forum to continue political activity. REFERENCES
