The Pre-Islamic Mazdak Movement Mazdak is the founding father of Iranian intellectual tradition of communalism and populism.
Mazdakism, a Gnostic religious movement, originated as an offshoot of Manichaeanism (Mani, the painter who rose as a prophet some 200 years ago), and there are lines of continuity in Mazdak's dualistic perception of the world that can be traced to Zoroaster.
Mazdak asserted that since most communal conflicts are either over property or over women, both of these must become public property to prevent unnecessary bloodshed.

 Mazdakism
Mazdak of Fesa, building on foundations laid by earlier heterodox religious leaders from the same part of the country, apparently taught that good and evil are everywhere randomly mixed, even in the nature of God, and that the adept who mastered the occult correspondences governing the universe had no need of outward religious formalities.
Amid rumors (not altogether improbable) that the abolition of private property and of marriage were next on Mazdak's agenda, conservative Zoroastrians rallied behind the feudal lords to overthrow Kavadh in 496.
Among those killed in the massacres were Mazdak himself and Kavadh's first-born son, whom the Emperor declined to protect.

Mazdak emphasized good conduct, which involved a moral and ascetic life, no killing and not eating flesh (which contained substances solely from Darkness), being kind and friendly and living in peace with other people.
Despite the concepts of good conduct, the followers of Mazdak raided the palaces and harems of the rich, removing the valuables to which they believed they had equal rights.
