The kibbutzim 1 - Is one highly specific counter-example, compared to a huge history of socialized farming being at least problematic, and often disastrous. 2 - Are voluntary, and only a small part of Israel's economy. Voluntary small scale socialist experiments conducted by highly committed people can sometimes work. Socialist economies can't, at least not very well. 3 - Where in the context of a sufficiently market based economy that they could take price signals and respond to those incentives when they sell their surplus. They where socialist in the same way that a worker owned business is socialist. Technically socialist yes, but operating in a market economy with real price signals. Absent such signals, you don't just have the widely recognized socialist problem of motivation (in most cases people working in a socialist system have less incentive to work hard, work smart, and take risks), but also a problem in knowing what to produce, and how much of it you should produce. 3 - Are declining as a portion of Israel's economy, and also at the same time becoming less socialist.
