> Employers tend to prefer full-time employees ...

They don't [1][2].

> Most people work in services where there aren't really "capital owners". ~50% of Americans work for small businesses that hardly fit that model either.

Small businesses absolutely fit the model, specifically "petite bourgeoisie" [3]. The problem with small business owners is they think they're capital owners (or will be someday) so they vote for the interests of capital owners but most small businesses are just jobs you have to buy with typically less pay and less security.
