Does anyone remember the Diggers?

This diary is motivated by another by One Pissed Off Liberal :  Giants on the Land: The full story of the hippies He writes:  

The full story of the hippies is much more complex than what is commonly imagined or understood. I'm reminded of this by those who comment every time I write about hippies. There is always so much I leave out.

By the way, if you want a really good history of those times get this book:The Movement Toward a New America: The Beginnings of a Long Revolution (A Collage) - A What? by Mitch Goodman. My copy is dogeared and scotch taped together from years of use.

The Diggers

were a radical community-action group of activists and Improvisational actors operating from 1967 to 1968, based in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco. Their politics have been categorized as "left-wing"; more accurately, they were "community anarchists" who blended a desire for freedom with a consciousness of the community in which they lived. They were closely associated and shared a number of members with the guerrilla theater group San Francisco Mime Troupe.

Actor Peter Coyote was a founding member of the Diggers.
