Bolivian MAS survived because of commodity boom and labor links Europe lacked

Evidence

Where left populists were able to institutionalize and survive their electoral cycles—such as MAS in Bolivia—they did so with the twin preconditions of a commodity boom and clear labor links. Both these commodity and labor factors were lacking in European left-populist cases, compounding the earlier problem of disorganization. — Arthur Borriello and Anton Jäger, The Populist Moment, 32
