English term or phrase: The Diggers
Greetings

The Diggers and the Levellers are two proto-socialist groups who frequently worked together during the Civil War which took place in seventeenth century Britain and Ireland. Please, how could we translate the name of the first of these two groups into Persian?

“Digger” = somebody who digs the land in order to grow food etc.

Best wishes, and many thanks,

Simon

The Diggers were a group of Protestant English agrarian communists,[1][2] begun by Gerrard Winstanley as True Levellers in 1649, who became known as Diggers, because of their attempts to farm on common land.
Their original name came from their belief in economic equality based upon a specific passage in the Book of Acts.[3][4] The Diggers tried (by "leveling" real property) to reform the existing social order with an agrarian lifestyle based on their ideas for the creation of small egalitarian rural communities. They were one of a number of nonconformist dissenting groups that emerged around this time.

How about this as a simple rendering of the English, rather than a long explanation in Persian? Or maybe زمین کن‌ها ?
