"Just the opposite is true", is his lead-in to the next sentence, which I cut for brevity.

The follow-up is, "Individualists advocate true charity, which is the voluntary giving of their own money, while collectivists advocate the coercive giving of other people’s money; which, of course, is why it is so popular."

Nothing, other than being in possession of a poor personality trait, but, that's only my personal opinion of selfishness. I wouldn't be in favor of forcing you to be not selfish. In fact, forcing you to give against your wishes couldn't, on it's own, make you less selfish, anyway.

Nice hat, btw.

For just an instant, have a glimpse, a vision, of life through my eyes. It is a staggeringly joyous perspective, a view of how each person's choices can make their own life better. It is a vision of the possible, of how things can and should be.
