The whole idea of altruism is inherently communistic. Our problem is identifying communistic ideas as automatically bad because the attempts at implementing them as pure systems failed horribly.
For my part, I think universal health care is communistic. And I support it, whilst doing my very best to make as much money as I can, and pay as little taxes as I can, and have the best quality private healthcare I can. There is no hypocrisy or shame in advocating a public policy of help and mercy while looking after yourself as a way of life.
Full disclosure: Not a Christian or an Athiest. :]
