Those who _own_ businesses are _rarely_ the producers -- that's the problem!

In both cases not generally but depending on their constructive activities.

No, Marxism is an ideology "from predators for predators".  It uses a
wrong classification (e.g. a lawyer is in the "good" class but an
engineer who leads his own small company is in the "bad" class,
although it should be the other way around), precisely in order
to prevent producers from solidarizing with each other, and instead
leading them to fight each other at the benefit of predators.
Literally a red herring.

Enslavement results as long as predators have the power to enslave
producers.  Producers, when in power, will not enslave predators,
because predators don't produce, and those who produce don't have to
enslave others.
