And now you have the power of the land in your hand

The Diggers formed in the late 1600's in the aftermath of the English Civil War and in reatcion to the suffering of the working class. Their underlying belief was that no person should participate in the slavery of property ownership. Each Digger community was formed without a hierarchy or systems of class.

A prominent Digger, Gerard Winstanley, wrote the pamphlet "The Law of Freedom in a Platform. " (The pamphlet can be read here: http://www.bilderberg.org/land/lawofree.htm) The writing was directed to Oliver Cromwell -the General of the Commonwealth's Army. Winstanley called for "the free possession of the land and liberties be put into the hands of the oppressed commoners of England."

Rather easily Cromwell destroyed the Diggers. Though, temporarally there was a surviving branch called the Levellers but my interest in them is not great, yet.
