>Zimbabwe tried redistributing farms but it turned out horribly for them.

It actually didn't. It tries to buy out land but then noticed that it ran out of money. After that they hired thugs to get white farmers off their farms. They didn't give the new black farmers any method of financing their business which led to failed farms. Finally they gave the land to political allies who don't farm at all.

A simple land value tax would have prevented this nonsense.

The Land without accompanying appendages: machinery, know-how, processing, storage, transportation, fertilizers and other inputs including seeds AND RELIABLE WATER .... is actually useless.

Zimbabwe redistributed the land without the necessary infrastucture or know-how to till the land and produce output.

Therein was the whole failure.
