Fortunately, though, it seems as though the movement-that-shall-not-be-named is gaining some traction through groups like DSA and Momentum, even if it is reformist. I think there's still some hope - he-who-shall-not-be-named is only as such in public discourse, and in the academic discourse (in particular political economy, sociology, critical theory, philosophy, literature and with a good dose in psychoanalysis) he is named by his true name.
I think we ignore him and his work (in favor of sound bites from supporters and detractors) at our peril. There is enough to be critical of in what he said, we don't need to rub out his name over what Badiou called the 20th c. experiments.
