Moral individualism

"I will not harm or kill them for my advantage, or for that of anyone I especially care about.

"But they must not harm or kill me for the like reasons."

What egoists would agree to in the social contract.

It's not any style or variant of utilitarianism.

Under utilitarianism, individuals - people, that is to say - count for nothing.

To hell with that, says the egoist.
