Ugh, paywall.

Everyone in my family who spent time on a kibbutz wound up to be either a socialist loon Obama supporter, or a hardcore capitalist.

Even in the best of times, the kibbutzim thrived because they found capitalist markets for their produce.

Socialism was their internal set up only.

It's always been the problem with Ideal Marxism. It works, with a small group of idealists working toward a common goal. As long as a balance is reached, production = consumption, everything functions. This balance requires a stasis that can't be maintained, ever. Stupids can't understand that.

When there is enough surplus to buy more, people start thinking outside the Socialist Box. Good Socialists recognize that this is a loss of power.
