The True Levellers' Standard Advanced

The True Levellers' Standard Advanced, written by Gerrard Winstanley in 1649, was a social and political treatise advocating for equality and communal ownership during England's revolutionary period. Winstanley called for the redistribution of land and resources to ensure everyone had access to life's essentials, opposing greed and hierarchy. He argued that society should be based on cooperation, common ownership, and justice, rather than profit or privilege. The work aimed to inspire a more fair and equitable community, emphasizing that true freedom and happiness come from shared responsibility and collective wellbeing.
