I understand your point of view and it's not so much about blame - as i said the small numbers on the left with these views wouldn't make much difference (except maybe contribute to an atmosphere of soidarity). It's more about my own impulse to support the only genuine hint of socialism from labour for decades, despite its shortcomings, so as not to give the enemy such an easy propaganda victory for the next 30 years ("corbynism failed, michael foot, venezuela blah blah"). If corbyn got into power i'd join in the calls of milquetoast with the rest of them i'm sure. As far as i can see the choice of brexit/remain is a choice between variations of the status quo (or possibly trump's new nationalist status quo) - only corbynism offers to upset the applecart - even if it's only vanilla post war social democracy to keep capitalism going that still makes a massive difference us at the bottom. (probably repeating myself in that way rhisiart posted about recently...)
