I am certainly no expert on Trotsky - and, by the way, "Trotsyite" is usually considered the pejorative version of "Trotskyist" - but my reading of some of their press suggest that they put great weight on struggles "at the point of production" rather than at some more aggregate level. This could be their own boneheadedness rather than Leon's.
