A history of the kibbutz (Israeli communities).
By Wikipedia
Kibbutz
A kibbutz is an Israeli collective community. The movement combines socialism and Zionism in a form of practical Labor Zionism, founded at a time when independent farming was not practical or perhaps more correctly—not practicable. Forced by necessity into communal life, and inspired by their own ideology, the kibbutz members developed a pure communal mode of living that attracted interest from the entire world. While the kibbutzim lasted for several generations as utopian communities[citation needed], most of today's kibbutzim are scarcely different from the capitalist enterprises and regular towns to which the kibbutzim were originally supposed to be alternatives. Today, farming has been partially abandoned in many cases, with hi-tech industries very common in their place.
The kibbutzim have given Israel a disproportionate share of its military leaders, intellectuals, and politicians. The kibbutz movement never accounted for more than 7% of the Israeli population.
