The initial Manifesto of the organisation was composed by William Morris and Ernest Belfort Bax . It advocated Revolutionary Internationalism and was approved by Friedrich Engels as a valid expression of Marxist policies. The party published a journal, ''Commonweal''. Notable members of the party included Eleanor Marx and Edward Carpenter . The party also attracted many Anarchist s, who gained control by the early 1890s . This led some of the founders to leave and rejoin the SDF, or the Independent Labour Party . Nonetheless, the party remained active until it was disbanded in 1901 . A second, entirely unconnected Socialist League was formed in the 1932 as a split from the Independent Labour Party , opposed to that organisation disaffiliating from the Labour Party . It was led by Stafford Cripps and was dissolved in 1937 . A third, again unconnected Socialist League was formed in 1981 by the International Marxist Group when it entered the Labour Party . It soon became universally known by the name of its publication, '' Socialist Action ''. EXTERNAL LINK
