No, if you are moving a high levels of capital and can exploit populations that haven't moved as fast as you (Mexico <- causal <- rust belt, etc) you are essentially playing a shell game but have fast hands because you can move more efficiently across larger sections of the globe and local demographics than someone from that population. It's predatory, and ultimately leads to "deserts" where the parasite has booked it to a location where the resource pipeline is more efficient thus more profits can be siphoned without a drop in metrics.

Building factories in Mexico is not exploitation - it raises the standard of living of the people who decide that working at those factories is better than what they had otherwise.
