Levellers

The Levellers were a voice for the minority. I wondered as I was reading though how many of the majority might have agreed more if they had had the education to understand what they were really talking about. It is very easy for those in charge to put forth an effort to make the voice seem like they were evil simply because of their views. What they wanted seemed logical considering the wars being fought in the name of religion. If what they wanted came true then the power of those in charge (religion or government) would dissolve so it was very important that the message they were preaching be portrayed as evil and against all things good. This happens even in our time where communication is faster and better. There are those that read something and believe because it was published it must be true. The only way this battle can be won is through education. In education we are taught to ask questions about what we read and research the validity of the argument. Wouldn’t it be an amazing world if we could make an argument to those that don’t agree with us and know they were making an informed argument against us and not just following the leader?
