There has never been anything left wing about North Korea, it's actually a theocracy. One swift look at all the miracles attributed to the 3 generations of Korean rulers will show that explicitly.

Russia was far left originally, but again, became more of a theocratic state under Stalin. It then went back to far left post Stalin, but the breakup of the old soviet union saw an oligarchy form.

China was perhaps the longest consistent far left experiment, but today they are pretty much a capitalist country with some older authoritarian ideas thrown in for good measure.
