The levelers and the diggers of the United Kingdom are the most grounded people here

Out of all the reform movements the most authentic of them I could find were the leveller's and the diggers of the United Kingdom. 

I spent many nights with them under a railway bridge, on a common somewhere, anywhere where they could find some common land to live on.

At the time I was arrogantly trying to promote the fiscal policy known as land value taxation to save the world's problems. 

They didn't agree with an lvt and I was surprised because I thought it did exactly what they were asking for. 

What they were really saying to me was that it was an absurd idea that anybody could own anything at all because ownership or property rights are never seen anywhere in nature. This thing called ownership. 

 

I was annoyed at the time because though I knew deep down they were right, I had no response for them and I thought I knew everything already, like a typical activist.

By the way, I am no communist, an ideology which tends to capture people you find within the levellers and the diggers movements - the agrarian people. But not all of them.

I earned their respect, I found them authentic because they got this insight about ownership. That ownership is an absurd idea and they taught it to me as something new, an insight. 

So though politically I didn't really agree with them I found, that out of all the land reformers including the Georgist movement of the world, they were the most authentic of all because they lived by that principal literally.

Which is a true principle.
