The Withering of Socialism on Israel's Kibbutz system

The Jerusalem Post has a long article about the decline of the socialist ideal on the Kibbutz system:

The kibbutz movement, which is 96 years old, has been on an uneven march away from collectivism and toward individualism in recent decades. Even the most traditional, socialistic, Hashomer Hatzair kibbutzim have introduced consumer choice, allowing members to dispose of their income any way they want, which would have been rejected as heresy 20 years ago. Among kibbutzim that have abolished income equality, the next major change on the horizon is the division of property and other assets among the members, which will make it impossible, or at least absurd, to speak of them as kibbutzim at all.
