After a short period the "Profil" group went separate routes, as authors such as Dag Solstad, Espen Haavardsholm, and Tor Obrestad turned to the newly formed party Workers' Communist Party ("Arbeidernes kommunistparti" or AKP), and become involved in formulating a new political program that based on the view that literature should serve the working people and their uprising against capitalism. Arild Asnes Solstad's "1970" is a key novel to understanding the desire of the modern intellectual to connect with something larger and more realistic – the working people and a cause.
