The Diggers tried to reform the existing social order with an agrarian lifestyle based on their ideas for the creation of small, egalitarian rural communities.

Their belief in economic equality was drawn from Acts of the Apostles 4:32, which describes a community of believers that "had all things in common" instead of having personal property.

The True Levellers advocated for an early form of public health insurance and communal ownership in opposition to individual ownership.
