Even if done out of selfishness, I believe altruism is selfless in nature.

Certain groups such as people who belong to churches or mosques are more likely to commit altruistic acts. The majority of people, anarchists included will not perform these actions that are beneficial to man as a whole on a daily basis. Self interest will triumph in the individual, however I do believe altruism can succeed if developed in a close group, such as a church.
