In a sense, isn't "altrusitic egoism" the only valid form of morality for a communist? I ask because I've recently realized it may be quite cringe and, in fact, helping others because you expect return is not cool

    I mean, the philosophical question of big M Morality and how it connects with dialectical materialism is important.

    You can't abolish capitalism by being nice or living your life according to some universal moral code. Morality stems from production and how the surplus value of that social (or non-social) production is distributed.

    Doing moralism is bad and un dialectical.
