England and later Scotland did very well once we left the (then) clammy embrace of the Catholic Church in the 1530s, and at the time many timid collectivists predicted dire consequences, and yes there was some disruption for a while. Leaving the EU is the exact modern equivalent.

Sometimes you have to take your medicine, but Corbyn would crash and burn in the early stages of a Labour gov't, not so much because of his ideas and ideals (bad as they are, it would take a while for these to work through, and there will be moderating influences), but because of his incompetence. Just look at his tax return, for example. He can't even get the basics right. Or look at the number of open goals he's been delivered in PMQs, and promptly punted them into the stands. He's in the process of rigging the Labour party to avoid being booted out, but he can't rig broader public opinion.
