Burma. Right-wing military junta. Several 1970s-80s Latin American governments were superb examples of it as well - Nicaragua, El Salvador, Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela . . . bad times.

TBH though, Zimbabwe? Zimbabwe isn't far-left - if communism gets one thing right it's how to manage agriculture on a national scale. Zimbabwe is about as far from good agricultural management as it humanly possible, short of actually committing economic suicide and salting their fields. North Korea is also a hard one to judge. It's ostensibly communist, but it makes no pretence of doing anything good for the people of North Korea, unlike Cuba which actually does do some good things [free, effective healthcare for a start]

Yep. Tens upon tens of millions of deaths from famine sure are a hallmark of getting agriculture right.
