    At the very least the Communist Party of Bolivia and Communist Party of Bolivia (Marxist-Leninist) support him and MAS.

    Here's the first group at a post-victory MAS rally.

    The only leftists that I'm aware of that actually formed a part of the opposition were Trots.

    Also, Evo does considers himself an ML, and MAS's opposition to imperialism, the nationalizations they've overseen, their alliance with Cuba and Venezuela, and the militia Evo armed (the Red Ponchos) make me think he's more than a social democrat. Even revolutionary communists do electoralism sometimes when they're sufficiently organized and in a position to do so, like in Kerala.

    If he's just a reformer (which I don't think is accurate), it would be in the vein of a global south social democrat like Lula, who I don't think is comparable to imperial core social democrats.
