On Zionist Youth Movements - Tzvi Lamm

The motif of 'the rebellion of the son,' the kind that leads not to detachment from the parents, but to accepting responsibility over them, is at the core of all Zionist youth always came from the same motive - for the youth to break through the existence of the Jewish exile while leading the nation... The Zionist youth movements were in their essence an act of escape from the anomie (chaos of values in a changing world) because they rebelled against the society around them. The youth's self-awareness and the intellectualizing of the rebellion were what allowed the Zionist youth movements to take responsibility over the nation's future despite the fact that they rejected its present.
