Everyone - everyone - looks out for their own self-interest, first and foremost. That's human nature. To claim otherwise is to engage in deception - sometimes, it takes the form of self-deception, but deception nonetheless.
You'd think that having over 100 million people murdered under 20th century regimes that claim otherwise, would put the lie to the idea that people would ignore their own self-interest and act only for the greater good. Apparently, that isn't enough. "We'll do it right, this time! Honest!"
