I'm not very familiar with Obrador. Economically, from what I've read, it sounds like he falls in the same category of people that want communism to take over in Latin America, but I'm not sure here.

Evo literally thinks he is an Incan emperor, and well, you can't have a democracy if you think you are an emperor. He is the longest sitting president Bolivia had, and was elected 2006... about 15 years, the previous record held by a dictator (Banzer in 1970s).

I'll add this however, I think the descendents of the Incan people need more leaders, and I have no doubt they will be democratically elected, if they show respect for the law and their constitution, instead of attempting to revive an empire. Bo. like many other Latin American nations, was born out of a revolution, and the revolutionary spirit is still there and there is no way that they would go back to any empire Spain or Incan, without bloodshed. Maybe Evo could have peacefully broken up Bolivia, and declared the eastern part as its own nation, or even do a merger with Peru, because that whole area has similar lineage, and then revive the Incan empire that way.
