The group began publishing a paper, ''The Communist'', and entered into negotiations with the aim of merging with the Workers' Socialist Federation . It also gained the support of some Miner s in Treherbert . Attempts to open discussions with the Independent Labour Party , the Socialist Labour Party (SLP) and the British Socialist Party did not prove fruitful. The Communist League decided to imitate Sinn Féin 's abstentionist tactic of using elections as a platform for their Propoganda , while pledging not to take their seats if elected. Their proposal was not put into action, and the SLP did not accept their offer to support an SLP candidate who stood on this platform. Tensions between the anarchists and the Marxists in the group led to its dissolution in early 1920 . Aldred went on to found the Anti-Parliamentary Communist Federation the following year. REFERENCES
