If you read the Putney Debates, it is clear that the vast majority of NMA officers were fearful of class conflict. There is a constant emphasis in voters having an 'interest in the land', ie) owning property. The Diggers threatened this by their seizure of untilled land. The Parliamentarians were very harsh on those to their left.
