Serious question, where are we supposed to buy things we need? Big business is bad, small business is bad, what's left?

That isn't what supporting small business means in this context. The support of small business is like when your politicians say things that they are the backbone of the country and they need tax breaks, more lenient regulation or subsidy. In the US they often subsidize small business owners like during COVID with PPP while letting their population suffer with no (or a one time) subsidy, no subsidized health care, no housing subsidy.

It is realizing that business owners and entrepreneurs are not your friends, they are a class of people that exist to exploit your labor and you need to organize to over throw the economic system that benefits them over you. Communists are asking you to support your needs and the needs of people like you over the needs of people who exploit you.
