Obviously this is unlikely to happen, but I'm not sure that someone being wrong about something is cause for eternal damnation, do you?

Nah I was being a bit facetious. The problem is that his ideas were then taken and used as an excuse to set up dictatorships, which he kind of advocated. He just thought that they would be temporary (show everyone how to work together for the greater good and then the government would gradually relinquish power because they were no longer needed -- yeah right).
So not a cause for eternal damnation but perhaps a little bit like playing with matches.
