Heaven on Earth? The Kibbutz Ideal
'We are a tribe', claims a kibbutz veteran with pride. But if so, it is a most astonishing tribe. It has no poverty, no snobbery, no class, no crime, no unemployment and no homelessness.
Kibbutz is a society of one for all and all for one. It ploughs all its profits back into social security and the common kitty.
But in the past year or two the kibbutz movement has been plunged into crisis: partly economic, and partly the result of a widespread loss of confidence from within. The tribe has 128,000 members and has been going for nearly 80 years. Forty years ago it was vital to the setting up of the state of Israel. But in the tensions of today, can it survive?
