"That the earth was not made purposely for you, to be Lords of it,
and we to be your Slaves, Servants, and Beggers; but it was made
to be a common Livelihood to all, without respect of persons: And
that your buying and selling of Land, and the Fruits of it, one to
another, is The cursed thing, and was brought in by War; which
hath, and still does establish murder, and theft, In the hands of
some branches of Mankinde over others, which is the greatest
outward burden, and unrighteous power, that the Creation groans
under..."

Those feudal barons in old Albion merely updated their uniforms. They now occupy chairs in international banking, it would appear, their gross (in every sense) annual bonuses unaffected by short selling and the kind of misconduct which has led us all into this current credit crunch with its attendant fuel and food price hikes.
Winstanley's wisdom (if those are Winstanley's words - I have not brushed the dust off one of his books for a while) sure flies in the face the apparently bankrupt philosophy everybody is talking about on CNN.
