Does there exist a moral system based on reciprocity?

The Golden Rule is one: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".

Apparently it is, but it implies that everybody is basically the same person, which is rather dubious.

Is it still a Golden Rule if I paraphrase "One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself." to "One should treat others as they would like to be treated"?

I think most (but not all) people will say "yes", but why would you care about a label as long as you're clear as to what you are saying?
