Unconditional Altruism

A Philosophical movement inadvertently inspired by the beliefs of Ayn Rand, acting as a foil to Rational Egoism. The beliefs are characterized by unconditional sacrifice for others, a disregard of egocentric benefit, initiative to help the economically and socially disadvantaged, and a favoring of economic systems limiting extreme wealth while providing for all regardless of their identities. Philosophers who align most with this school of though include Jesus Christ, Mohandas Ghandi, Immanual Kant, Plato, Karl Marx, and any one else who recognises Selfishness and Selflessness as a Dichotomy.
Ayn Rand: "Would you take a bullet to save that homeless guy over there?"

Jesus: "Yes, as it would be the righteous thing to do as outlined by Unconditional Altruism."

Ayn Rand: "Get a load of this guy!"
