Idk about the situation in brazil and why they seemingly are more ready to hear socialists out, but i assume it has to do with their material conditions being worse and having a clear enemy with no “acceptable left” (americas democrats) that catches all people who might radicalize to divert them to the ballot box.

It's the opposite. They have much more of an "acceptable left" with Lula and PT than the US has. The reason people in Brazil are more ready to hear socialists out is because the latter actually exist. Socialism gets normalized by people proudly claiming and explaining it, not by pretending people first need to be "primed" with vague "leftist" thought or whatever for such things. Which communist revolution in history needed or even benefited from such a pipeline? Literally none of them, because stuff like that isn't what pushes people left. People aren't pushed leftwards, they're pulled leftwards.

But you're right that Hasan is the first part of the pipeline, though. It's just too bad that that pipeline leads from himself to himself.
