The ANC in South Africa are probably the most blatant, as they came to power on what was near as dammit a Marxist ticket, but changed their policy almost immeditately afterwards to a neo-liberal one to avoid capital flight from the markets and a recession/economic collapse. Also basically all 'left wing' South American governments.
