I'm not sure how important these debates over factions and
tendencies over 50 years ago are, but I am a bit bothered by
this wording, "Trotskyist movement." Would it not be better
to speak of a "Trotskyist tendency" within the workers'
movement?

I would assume, with Lou, that a future communist party in the
United States must allow (as did the Sandinistas, for example)
for a rather large variety of organized *tendencies* within it
-- but I can't see a party (or even a coalition) embodying
separate *movements*.
