This thread seems to be about right-wing Americans getting their "non-woke" coffee from Bolivia so that's what I used for my comparison.

But sure, let's compare it to Europe:

Bolivia has universal healthcare, similar to most European countries. No idea about the quality of course.
Annual leave gets a bit complicated to compare. For the first five years, it's a minimum of 10 days, that's not much indeed. The lowest in Europe (though non-EU) seems to be Turkey with 14 days for the first five years. For years 5-10, it's a minimum of 20 days, about the same as much of Europe. After 10 years, it goes up to a minimum of 30 days which is actually more than most European countries have as mandatory leave (though for example in Germany, many companies offer 30 days instead of the required 20 as a common perk).
Maternity leave is similar to the lower end of Europe, For comparison, Germany has 14 weeks at 100% pay.

Overall: not perfect but also not bad for a relatively small country in South America with a GDP that's way lower than most of Europe.

Plus we all know what happens to South American countries who get a little too left / helpful to workers
