Hard to see how someone could affect their own self interest without impacting others. ie??

CB: No doubt. In general, in these times, an individual worker can seek to fulfill her own self-intetest by helping to make socialism while impacting others' self-interests positively, no ? So, no moral dilemma in following Marx's suggestions. Marxism is selfish and moral at the same time. The original win-win approach.

By the way, there's nothing immoral about impacting the rich's overinflated, ballooned even, wealth by deflating it. Rich individuals can satisfy their self-interests with much less wealth than they have now..
