What's most annoying though is that the prediction of leftists ruining the economy would largely appear to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Could you provide evidence of this please?

They can probably answer themselves, but it's likely to be a reference to market sentiment.
Given the background and some of the stated aims of the leadership, it isn't a stretch to think a Labour lead government would give markets concern.
The knock-on effect would likely be a devaluation of £ and in the worst case a downwards adjustment of our credit rating. Those two in conjunction with the almost certain huge ramp up in borrowing would compound the situation increasing the national debt.
The irony of all of this is, to date, I don't think any party has done more to devalue £ than the Tories.

Care to expand on that so I have some decent rebuttals in place?
My standard rejoinder is that Marxism is a historical lens, rather than an ideological economic or social standpoint. That doesn't change the fact that people think that Corbyn's policies would screw the economy. I was certainly more comfortable with his position (being tempered by the wider party) before Momentum started trying to purge people who disagreed with his stance.
