British Trotskyism considers the activities of Trotskyists within the Labour Party. It details their involvement with the trade unions and in mass campaigns such as CND, the Anti-Nazi League, Troops Out and the women's movement. While the far left have played a crucial role in championing causes that might otherwise have been neglected, Callaghan argues, its failure to become more than a mere catalyst of events is connected to its rigid adherence to a Leninist conception of socialist politics which, especially in regard to the question of democracy, he sees as defective, dogmatic and outdated.
