### **Notes**

* Evo Morales and MAS should be treated separately. The person and the party are not the same and understanding criticisms and politics on the ground become easier
* Potosi movements demanding the cancelation of the contract with German company also demanded Evo step down
* Protests started against Evo in Potosi after a caravan of anti-Evo cooperative miners were shot at by government forces
* Morales failed to keep his promise of a government without deaths
* MAS could had prevented right-wing opportunism and unnecessary military intervention or police violence if they had chosen a different candidate
* Women have criticized Evo Morales’s misogyny and the government’s refusal to investigate violence against women
* Evo Morales allowed foreign resource extraction corporations to operate in Bolivia in violations of labor laws
* The communities that stand to be impacted by extractive activities are generally not too concerned whether the corporate interests involved are American, European or Chinese, or whether the government that welcomes them is right or “left.”
* Evo Morales has been accused of embodying pan-Indigeneity or being tokenized by corporations and by white leftists while being criticized by other Indigenous communities
* The largest trade union in Bolivia asked Evo Morales to step down
* Evo Morales militarized the state before the coup, which gave the far-right interim government the means to carry out massacres
* As Morales centralized the state, some communities resisted in favour of communal democracy
* Indigenos communities unilaterally across Latin America denounced the coup and called a coup a coup, even if they were or are fighting Morales (and later Añez) for more autonomy and direct democracy
* LIthium speculations began with English-language media first before spreading to Spanish-language media
* Tesla stock jumped on October 22 when Evo Morales claimed his electoral victory. Stock jump in November corresponds with the profit report two days earlier
* Most of the criticisms, from the left, of Morales before the coup were done in good faith
* In places where OAS recommends scrutiny, turnout for MAS was higher, which means complaints about the government from the left is not the same as right-wingers desiring power
* Pablo Solón, of “Systematic Alternatives”, served as Evo’s chief climate negotiator
* While Pablo Solón provides interesting critiques, he should be read with a grain of salt because Indigenous communities across Bolivia declared the coup a coup, yet he still drags his feet about this issue
* Álvaro García Linera, vice president of Evo Morales, already explained what MAS had to do if they want to expand the Pink Tide and not run into crises like Evo Morales found himself in
* Economic policy-wise, there was not much difference between Añez and Morales
* Accusing Indigenous activists resisting resource extraction projects of being “green anarchists” is a neoconservative libel or slander from George Bush’s post-9/11 “Green Scare” period and Obama’s neoliberal crack-down on anti-pipeline activists
* Excusing Morales’s police violence against disabled activists asking for better social security and pension make you ableist
