Small businesses, at least in my area have the owners themselves work. So yeah means of production are owned by workers.
But they are living off of the value produced by their workers, assuming it's not just literally the owner working. Also, most small business owners I've worked really scummy and shady. A lot of people go into business because they are literally unemployable. Personality disorder, criminal past etc. You are much more likely to be a victim of wage theft.
Where do you propose we shop?
Wherever, we are not going to consume our way to a better future.
Agree to disagree then
