    there is another community type in Israel that is worth mention, the moshav. while the idea in the kibbutz is that everything belongs to everyone equally, the moshav divides all it's resources equally within its residents. For example, while the agricultural area of a kibbutz is owned by it and the revenue is divided equally to the members, in a moshav the agricultural area is divided equally within the members and everyone can do whatever he wants with his field. it gives you much more freedom, yet you still are a part of a close community. I lived both in a kibbutz and a moshav, and I definitely prefer the second one. Of course the system can differ from one place to another (and as they become more modernized), but still.

    And once Israel had a choice they chose Capitalism (as I think you were mentioning) as once there was no longer subsidied people left the kibbutz as they were no longer forced to be part of it because of benefits that were only available on the Kibbutz. And people who were immigrants of course found that they didn't have as easy as they didn't have connection that those who claimed to be about "equality" had. My own experience as well is people who push this ideology are never themselves poor or have some inheritance or something else that they don't have to work day to day. They are usually wealthier then the average person and the Kibbutaz keeps everyone else below them that they can't make more in the Kibbutz.

    You may have not heard before of the kibbutzim, but the kibbutz is Israel's most famous social innovation. Fifty years ago, I lived as a child in Africa, and had to give a talk to my class about life at the kibbutz, because my classmates were so curious about it. You portray the kibbutz as some "modern" form of hippy community, which gets it exactly backwards: The first kibbutz (Degania) was established 1910, and by 1950, a few hundred were in existence. Though you portray Maagan Michael (the kibbutz you visited) as the last one, there are in fact 250-300 of them, more or less like it. The kibbutzim are neither "religious" nor "agnostic". With a few exceptions, they are the vanguard of Jewish secularism in Israel.

    The early kibbutz ideology was a purely utopian-labour movement and not Marxist in nature...nor a product of Russia. The majority of early Aliyah settlers (Degania, etc) were from central and eastern Europe...not Russia. As the Soviet Union came into being...the “true socialist” system of the kibbutzim was stand alone and nothing like that communist dictatorship which had very little inherent incentive. As any sociologist knows...true socialism constantly evolves with market forces...whereas the old Stalinism, etc simply could not. That was the stark difference between the kibbutz model...which had an inbuilt, huge, personal, incentive to work and to improve ones own standard of living, etc. True socialism is the free-ist social mechanism available to us (far more so than capitalism)...because it allows the individual to utilize ones natural skills and talents, etc...by freeing up the psychological (and physical) restraints & shackles of having to provide all the basic necessities of life on ones own. Humans collectively, create a much better social platform...than any one of us could muster by themself. Thus freeing up, our natural vocational abilities by pooling resourses and labour...that in turn maximizes motivation, potential, creativity, innovation, opportunity, conduit vehicles, and so forth. This is one reason why the kibbutzim have the highest ratio (per capita) of advanced degree graduates in Israel today, and produce more than double the national GDP per sector. Not to mention provide a lot of innovation in many fields. Their modern day utilization of the free market economy is just the natural transition evolution within a true socialist model.. Individual possessionship is a natural part of true socialism. It is the “collective” social goal and associated functional result...that is the most important element...and not the sub-set level details.

I think the French revolutionists, as well as American revolutionist in the early days, maentioned something about equality, no? It's about how you apply the philosophy to the day-to-day life that differs. Mind you, there were (are) some communist Kibbutzim, religious Kibbutzim, and these days a few urban kibbutzim as well, but mostly modern Kibbutzim have broken off from the communist idea, some even from the socialist ideas...

    Communism means joint ownership of all means of living, while socialism is only about fair distribution. So it is closer to communism. However, historically communism was attempted by states, not communities, and was a messy and bloody failure. During the heyday of communism, the kibbutzim attracted a lot of attention as the only case of communism that did not fail.

    Yes correct....The kibbutz is not communism at all...but rather a “true” socialist model. In fact, true socialism is the most democratic system of all. True socialism incorporates both collective and free market mechanisms to serve humanity. Unfortunately, the term “socialism” has been tainted by the old Soviet Era model...which really was just a form of state owned dictatorship...and nothing more. Living in the kibbutzim, was the most “psychologically” free period in my entire life...and that is saying something...as I have travelled to more than 100 countries and lived in many different places around he globe over the past 5 decades.

And it's not like we are a super closed no entry community except if you marry someone, houses in the kibbutz are up for rent like any other place, you just have to show that you are willing to live the community life and be an active part of the community. Also the money thing is true you expalined it well because they are not privatized they still use that payment system. other kibbutzs that have privatized still function as a community but now get their own paychecks. I'm gonna keep watching your videos to see where else here you have traveled! Enjoy!

    You forget the main thing: kibbutzes were established to work the land and their main role was the agricultare.. but it was discovered that in order to increase money other things like industry is brings more money.. still the agriculture is the main thing in the kibbutz..

    I was inspired 50 years ago by the writings of Leon Uris to experience kibbutz life and help, no sightseeing, no religious intent, just working with purpose. There was no everyday threat of attack but the Kibbutzniks were prepared and ready to fight. It was several months of fulfillment for me and a wonderful experience that I cherish.

    They're self sustaining now, because they have a semi-capitalist approach. It also really depends on which kibbutz you go to. For example, in some kibbutzim, members own their own cars. I lived on one for five months and it was an OK experience, they're really rural though. Back in the 80s they were hyper socialist communities, but that changed after they collapsed and the government had to bail them out.

    They at one time were subsidized by the Israeli government when they had a centrally planned economy. I wouldn't call that being self sufficient. And once Labor lost an election as they did in 1977 and the country moved away from a socialist system most Jews didn't want to stay on the Kibbutz and had other opportunities and no longer had to.

    I used to live and work in Ma'agan Michael (Koi ponds) after the mandatory army service and I also have a family there. It is a normal society, not hippie or anything like that. Just socialist economic model. Kibbutz is a very nice and calm way of life, but most kibutzim in Israel are having financial difficulties and are not able to service for long these days. Ma'agan Michael is relatively unique because it had made good business decisions and is very reach because of that. Most Kibbutzim can't survive this socialist economic model. BTW they do accept jewish volunteers from all over the world. I have many friends around the world from my time there :)

    Hey guys. Amazing video. One correction: Most Kibbutzes are secular (non-religious). The Kibbutz movement, in fact, is rooted in Jewish secularism, which shed itself of any religiosity in Europe after the Holocaust to come and build a modern liberal/progressive society in Israel. Only 20 or so percent of Israel as a whole is religious, and the rest secular.

    My dad, who is a conservative today, lived on a secular Kibbutz. He said he liked it but he noticed that the secular were unhappy while the religious were always jubilant and happier. His kibbutz literally split up along party lines. I forgot the name of the Kibbutz but It became Kibbutz X-Meretz, KIbbutz X-Likkud, and another. Basically the same kibbutz but with different party names afterwards. I think today id look for a kibbutz that had its variety of secular and religious
