I play civilization all the time, it's one of my favorite games.  There is a
communist government, but it's really a Stalinist government.  It's not too
productive but is good at warfare.  Civilization 3 allows you to create new
government types and completely redesign the old ones, though.  It can
definately be modified to reflect a more left-wing paradigm.
