oops, yes, that slipped. I meant: "not antagonistically".

The deniers of socialist morality assume that suppression of other
humans, pollution etc. under the conditions of socialism is nothing
anybody in their right mind would have an interest in anyhow, and hence
they deny the need for any form of moral.
Apart from this (German) lecture I have not found anything that discuses
this view in any detail.
