Small businesses grow, that’s how capitalism works. When OP talks about empowering individuals, that’s liberal ideology. When talking about how self-employment is better for society, that’s liberal ideology.
Small businesses grow, that’s how capitalism works.
That’s patently false. Most small businesses start small and never grow beyond that small stage.
I don’t get the impression that you have any experience with small business. You certainly don’t have enough to speak with the degree of authority you have assumed.
Then you don’t know many small businesses. There are more sole proprietorships than every other type of business combined.
And if there’s none, congrats, it’s a cooperative!
That’s called a “partnership”. That’s the second most common type of business.
Employment is something workers won in the early 20th century.
Labor laws are what workers won in the early 20th century, not employment. Employment long predated labor laws.
The reason they fought for labor laws is because employment naturally trends toward exploitation, and needs to be reined in through regulation. Unfortunately, influence in labor regulation is now dominated by employer, not employee, so exploitation is not being adequately addressed.
Employer exploitation is not a problem for the self employed.

I know plenty of small businesses. I know none that keep to one person and aren’t disguised employees.
But then, if there are two persons in your business, who’s the boss? And if there’s none, congrats, it’s a cooperative!
Employment is something workers won in the early 20th century. Ask yourself why they fought for it maybe. Then come back with your arrogance.
