STAND UP NOW!! All you noble diggers, stand up now!

Thanks for this. Wish it was an hour long! I'd love to find out more about these groups.

the diggers are so cool, they called themselves the 'true levellers' and can be considered the ancestors of modern anarchism

The Levellers were the true Levellers, and they were cooler.

Reading about it's almost certain they didn't call themselves the 'true levellers' and they were trying to distance themselves from the Levellers. For Winstanley the 'true leveller' was christ. There was confusion, at the time, over the Diggers' name. Even the title of the first Digger manifesto called 'True Levellers Standard' was dropped and was replaced with a different one. I recommend 'The Digger's Life and Legacy' by John Gurney. It's a very informative book and not that big.

‘Modern anarchism’ you mean the blue haired mask wearing neo liberals who are pushing a globalist agenda pretending to be pushing back at the system ‘They are the system’…

Rest in peace Justin Champion. Currently, I'm a trainee history teacher. Year 8 are currently doing this topic- though very surface level.

Sounds like they had some pretty good ideas

Why don’t you upload the entire segment by the late Dr Champion? I could listen to him talk all day every day.

Ranters were too busy having a good time to produce pamphlets

The Ranters are my favorite religious group.

Please do a video on the Cuban missile crisis and the rise of fascism ! :)

basically Johnson's levellers in Surrey Heath of Gove and diggers of Nandy's Wigan!

2:28 Yeah, yeah, all very interesting, but what was the outcome of the trial! (seriously though, thank you for this upload, it's a subject that interests me intensely)

There was hierarchy and priests in the early church, there was a church. See Acts of the Apostles.

The Levellers were the forerunners of the Whig party and later Liberal party. Truly the Libertarian founders of Republican Liberty!

This is fascinating. Does anyone have any recommendations for similar groups I could research from earlier periods, specifically the 12-14th centuries? I'm more interested in the egalitarian ideas than the religious ones, but anything similar is fine. Thanks!

Tiger Style: Absolutely? Sounds like with these groups you just kind of do your own thing, nothing objectively true.

Disgracefully poor representation of diggers. However am not surprised considering that of course the middle/upper class are always going to put down those who challenged the establishment.

Not surprising that out of the 3 groups in this short video the Levellers (proto-libertarians that they are) get the least amount of attention. Of course the group that doesn't respect private property and the group that wants to disrupt civil society are more popular than the Levellers.

Anarchists care about your liberty as much as their own, Libertarians just want to be left alone to fuck their children, and they like to think they'll shoot anyone who tries to stop them. The Diggers and the The Levellers were proto-Anarchists, albeit religiously motivated.

The Levellers sound based - I don't have much patience for pacifists.
