The measures that should be taken in for a communist society to arise are basically all applicable to Kibbutzim.
1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralisation of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the brining into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal liability of all to labour. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, &c. &c
Vorgestern sah ich im Fernsehen einen Bericht über einen Kibbuz nahe Golan.
Die Menschen (ca. 128 000 Menschen leben in Israel in Kibbuzim) arbeiten und leben zusammen und teilen alles, was sie haben. Ich würde gern so einen Kibbuz besuchen, um mir ein eigenes Bild zu machen. Kennt jemand so einen Kibbuz aus persönlicher Erfahrung? Dürfen Nicht-Juden dort leben? Die Leute, die in dem Film zu Worte kamen, machten auf mich einen sehr aufgeschlossenen und modernen Eindruck.
