Marx himself considered sole proprietorships to be outside of capitalism. Of course, Twatter Marxoids don't know that.
This video misses an even bigger picture as to why they are hostile to small businesses. Marx considered capitalism to be a progressive force in that it dissolved old social relations he considered to be false consciousness. From the Communist Manifesto:
Basically, this is talking about degeneration due to globalism. Their gripe with small business is that they are more prone to resisting globalism than big ones are, thereby holding up "progress" toward soulless materialism.
Ironically, small business owners aren't even particularly good at that. Lots of them support mass immigration for the cheap labor.
Sole proprietorships maybe but you hire one person and suddenly you're the "petit bourgeoisie" which gives you the distinction of being the enemy AND a traitor to the other workers. They hate them more than the megacorps.
