OK,
but it will be tested at a general election and it'll almost certainly fail.

Quite possibly. And that'll be the time for different ideas
But Labour failed in the last two general elections and haven't even been able to present a coherent enough vision to convince their own membership that Corbyn isn't the best chance.
This is what the idea of a cult misses; it's not about Corbyn for most (only idiots blindly support Corbyn the man) - it's that the centre/right of the party have comprehensively failed, nd then failed to learn - Corbyn emerged as a candidate as the only possible way for Labour to try something different, against other candidates who already looked exactly like the equivalent of the Tories' wilderness years leaders. Considering how comprehensively the left of the party have won the leadership, and increased membership (and for all the accusations, it's not "entryism"; there aren't 250k trots) the only productive thing to do if one would prefer Corbyn to be prime minister to May, is to support Corbyn up to 2020, and do what we can.
