Gerrard Winstanley was a prominent English religious thinker and leader of the Diggers movement during the English Civil War.

Winstanley argued passionately that all land should belong to the community as a whole, not to individual proprietors, and envisioned a society free from money and wages. He was a profound advocate for radical social reform aimed at eradicating poverty and oppression.
