Caring about others could also be considered “selfish” (e.g. a very personal “I would be extremely sad if insert person died”, or a more general “I feel angry about the mass exploitation of other people, and I want it to end so that I can stop being angry”). The big difference is that some people (sociopaths) don’t feel uncomfortable about bad things happening to other people (or other people that they don’t personally know), and they probably love capitalism
In practice it doesn’t really make a difference, but I find it interesting. (I don’t know if there’s any explicitly Marxist theory about it, although I suppose it’s a materialist concept)

Of course, that’s just being pedantic :>|

Yeah, that might be true; I’ve never heard/read it anywhere, at least (IIRC)
