English term or phrase: The Levellers
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 second of these two groups into Turkish?

“Leveller” = somebody who levels the rich and the poor so that everyone is equal.

Best wishes, and many thanks,

Simon

Some say "eşitleyiciler", but this sort of sounds like "equallers"...
