No one can explain the problem with altruism better than Rand, so no need to expand.
However, for those who STILL do not get that altruism means total self-immolation and duty, as opposed to being nice and gently helping others, I suggest this essay which sorces the original meaning per Auguste Comte and shows that if anything Rand 'goes easy' on Altruism.
