The Taborites were a religious proto-Protestant community centered on the Bohemian city of Tábor during the Hussite Wars in the 15th century. They had a communist-like society, sharing all food and valuable supplies, but maintained their private property and land rights, promised that people would return to a state of pristine innocence, and believed it was their duty to slay all heretics, i.e., non-Taborites. They were crushed in 1434.
But what if they had done better? If they had managed to survive, perhaps by being a bit more evangelical or more tolerant, what would be the effects of a long-lasting Protestant-like, communistic nation in central Europe in the fifteenth century and later?
Even if they did not survive all the way to the present day, but only for longer than in OTL, what might this have done to European history and politcs?
