 The Diggers took their name from the original English Diggers led by Gerrard Winstanley and sought to create a mini-society free of money and capitalism.On the other hand, the Yippies employed theatrical gestures, such as advancing a pig ("Pigasus the Immortal") as a candidate for President in 1968, to mock the social "status quo".They have been described as a highly theatrical, anti-authoritarian and anarchist youth movement of "symbolic politics".
