The MAS is mobilizing its base, not to defeat the fascists but to pressure them to compromise with the government. I refer readers to an article:

>The Bolivian government has mobilised indigenous people and peasants to achieve an alliance with the separatist oligarchy. The "dialogue of the deaf" continues on Thursday.
