In a sense it is unfortunate for the left that their movement's figurehead turned out to be such a crank. If this left-wing movement had coalesced around Diane Abbott's 2010 leadership campaign, for example, I think things might have turned out rather differently. (Though I am under no illusions about how low the gutter press would have stooped to attack her.)
The Left has to find scapegoats. It is in their DNA

I've been to the cemetery at Hammam Chott and the people that carried out the 72 massacre aren't buried there.
