los diggers

Diggers. English radical political and religious movement of the mid-SEVENTEENTH century, initiated by Gerrard Winstanley and other companions who occupied uncultivated lands in Surrey and began to cultivate them. They defended the community of goods in the style of the Acts of the Apostles by considering private property the cause of all evils and human inequality as the later Marxist philosophy also says. These ideas did not materialize in the English society, the most individualistic and capitalist in the socioeconomic field, but in the communities of Mennonites that since then were founded in North America and later in the agrarian communes of the Hippie movement.
