I would argue that what you're describing there is a fundamentally different morality that superficially resembles a more common one.

If I chose to, I could as well, 'extending my analysis' to others more or less as tools or things I can manipulate in order to benefit myself.

Is this addressed to me? It doesn't really matter what morality system I'm describing - I'm simply stating that there could exist a morality system that a sociopath could follow. Until someone wants to put forth an argument for a moral system, I'm not sure what the point is in talking about sociopaths. Yes, there could be moral systems under which they wouldn't be moral. There could also be moral systems under which no one but a sociopath could be moral.
