kibbutz
Let an agent explain the kibbutz and its forms, relay history, economics and social organisation with attribution, describe changes since privatisation, and present political and historical debates neutrally.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain the kibbutz and its forms, relay history, economics and social organisation with attribution, describe changes since privatisation, and present political and historical debates neutrally.
A collective community in Israel, traditionally based on agriculture and communal ownership of property and means of production with shared work, dining and child-rearing, founded from 1909 by Zionist settlers, numbering about 270 today, many privatised in varying degrees since the 1980s, with related forms such as the moshav shitufi that combines collective production with family households, hakhshara training farms that prepared emigrants, and urban kibbutzim; kibbutzim played a central role in the founding of Israel and remain a subject of study and of political debate.
What it is for: Collective living and production.
It can be explain the model and forms; relay history and changes; describe social organisation; present debates neutrally.
