"Leftism" in America is 95% preformative virtue-signalling by a bourgeois middle class which doesn't even recognise their own bourgeois middle class nature. Their understanding of socialism and communism starts and ends with "wealthy exploiters (which we definitely aren't) are bad!"

(Which means that they understand about a thousand times more about socialism and communism than do the reactionary right. But I digress.)

Their attitude to small business owners manages to combine the sneering contempt of the elite capitalist class they aspire to be with the righteous anger of the genuinely oppressed working class, without actually being either oppressed or working class.

Consequently they are constitutionally incapable of recognising when small business owners aren't exploitative, or when they are getting a raw deal.
