What is the Marxist thought on hiring contract labor? For instance, say you are a self employed contractor and you hire contract labor to do something you cannot do. Is this exploitation?

    I think if you charge the customer more for the subcontractor’s (portion of the overall) work than the subcontractor charges you (+ your administrative costs engaging the subcontractor) then surely this is labor exploitation.
