There's nothing wrong with altruism as long as you retain the principles of methodological individualism and private property. The problem is 'altruism by proxy' -- "I will help my neighbor" vs. "YOU WILL help my neighbor too whether you want to or not."
A better word for the bad kind of altruism for which Auguste Comte coined the term might be “abnegationism”.
