I'm going with a no. The movie makes a point of establishing that no one was morally superior. This is why it paints Alex in a sympathetic light for the second half. Plus, I think what Alex and his droogs did were kind of common in his setting. Remember, Alex and his gang did get in a fight with another gang, just as they were about to rape a woman.
