“After the 1985 debt crisis most kibbutzim reformed, and between 1995 and 2011 more than 75% of Israel's 248 nonreligious kibbutzim adopted safety-net budgets with differential market-based pay; some observers regard such kibbutzim as barely recognisable as kibbutzim.”

Context. The adoption figures are documented; whether reformed kibbutzim remain collectivist is a matter of judgement.
