The thing is, for toppling the current economic system, it would be important to understand that there can be different economic systems. And also, that it’s not a choice between only capitalism and communism, but that there is an infinite amount of other economic models to invent and use. And their subtypes.
Understanding economy as a synonym for our current money-based economy is strongly in the interest of those who want to keep the current system unchanged.
If you don’t understand why having an economy that is thought of is important, you cannot get any useful results by toppling the current one.
It’s pretty obvious from context that the meme (don’t forget, this is a meme, posted in a meme community) is about our current, monetary-based economy, not the concept of economy in general. I fail to see how that’s “strongly in the interest of those who want to keep the current system unchanged”, especially since the point of the meme is about tearing down the current system (and the implication that it be replaced with a moneyless one). Also I think your definition of “economy” is so watered down as to be useless. IDK, this all just comes across as you nitpicking and trying to be correct for the sake of being correct, ie, pedantry.

It’s obvious for you and for me. It’s not obvious to everyone. And it’s non-obvious to the majority.
I feel like it’s not obvious to you, or else you wouldn’t have posted several paragraphs describing how the OP was using the term incorrectly lmao
