Every historical jesus candidate is contested by advocates of some other historical jesus candidate, all of which are contested by both the q source and christ myth advocates. Why would a communist era writer with a certain bias trouble you anymore than the various era writers of the nt with their equally certain biases, or the liberal historical movement with it's own?
People see whatever they want in the character of christ and jesus, both are chimeric everymen and simultaneously famous nobodies. This has lead a particular camp of historical jesus enthusiasts to posit that while jesus may have been a real boy, there isn't anything that we can learn about that real boy from the sources we have.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
