Many political parties in the region have been made up of personal supporters of a particular leader, as is apparent from the colloquial names of their members. In Argentina, for example, the Partido Justicialista's supporters are commonly referred to only as "Peronism", according to Juan Perón, and in Cuba, Fidel Castro's supporters are "Castristas" or "Fidelistas". Although personalismo is quite common throughout Latin American history, it has been a particular part of the political systems of the Dominican Republic and Ecuador.personalismo. (2009).

Personalismo is closely linked to the Latin American caudilismo phenomenon, where states are dominated by leaders (Caudillo) whose power leans on violence and, on the other hand, personal charisma. Caudillos were particularly common in the newly independent Latin American states of the early 19th century. However, caudilismo remained a common phenomenon until the 20th century, either as Peronism-like Populism movements or as direct military dictatorships.personalismo. (2009).
