I'm not sure, jookyle, that many of the members of the Left Communist organisations would agree with you. I've certainly never heard anyone from the ICC, ICT, IP, CBG or any other organisation that claimed the heritage of the Communist Left (who were, unlike the SLP, expelled from the 3rd International) saying that those organisations saw De Leon as a significant political influence (it may be that I just haven't picked up on this of course). Can you say why you think he is, and which organisations you think he and the SLP particularly influenced?
