Besides kibbutz are not that successful either they have just not collapsed wholesale into a pile of rubbish as the USSR and Eastern Europe did 15 years ago.

They were succesfull for a long time. But eventually with the creation of the state of israel its inhabitants felt more as Members of the State of israel, rather than Communists. Many felt the young nation could use their skills more than the commune.
Eventually the communes started using currency (of the state) but to this day each member still preforms his or her task that he or she is best at. Religion is kept to a menimum if there is any at all.
So to claim that it crumbled and is hanging on by a thread would be quite erronous
