Imo it could be capitalist production, simple commodity production, or
partial commodity production depending on the socio-economic framework in
which it took place, and the economic motive for production. A modern
virtual corporation is still capitalist, even if it does not itself employ
any wage labour but only independent operators, in the sense of being
dependent (parasitic on) on a mode of production with wage labour, in order
to obtain its profits
