The Law of Freedom in a Platform, or True Magistracy Restored is a six-chapter book published in 1652 by Gerrard Winstanley, a participant in the Diggers movement. In the book he argued that, under a Christian basis for society, private property should be abolished. In keeping with Winstanley's adherence to biblical models, the tract envisages a communist society, establishing the beginnings of modern Christian socialism.
