[ecopath] Re: History of "alternative" communities (under :From Britain)

[andrew hill]

The historian Christopher Hill's  The World Turned Upside Down, presents an
excellent account of the Diggers, Levellers and other groups that arose
during the English Revolution / Civil War of the 1640s. These in their
reclaiming of common land and so on, present an an interesting antecedent to
contemporary communities. Their activities were reacted to quite harshly.
Have societies become more tolerant of alternative societies do people
think?
