Kibbutz kibbutz kibbutz (CNN) [View all]


How did a socialist kibbutz influence Bernie Sanders?

http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/09/politics/bernie-sanders-kibbutz-volunteer-israel/


"Israel (CNN)A small collective community in northern Israel, modeled after the communist ideals of the Soviet Union, may hold clues to the development of U.S. presidential candidate Bernie Sanders' political beliefs.

Sanders is Jewish and a self-described "democratic socialist." In the 1960s, he spent several months volunteering on an Israeli collective farm, or kibbutz, that functioned according to communist principles."
