106. Radicalism in the English Revolution 3: The Diggers -- Ariel Hessayon
Alexander Garden Obelisk, a Soviet monument to precursors of socialism, including Marx, Engels, Bakunin, Proudhon, and Gerrard Winstanley

Ariel Hessayon returns to discuss The Diggers, the radical group whose farming community most closely resembles the ideas of anarchist communism as expressed by 19th century figures such as Kropotkin, Morris, and Tolstoi. Ariel and I discuss their origins, their theology, their 19th century recovery, and above all the brilliant writings of one of their leaders, Gerrard Winstanley.
