Flippanarchy
Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
-
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
-
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

Are you practicing for the pedantry Olympics
No. But I do get why you'd ask :)
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
They are. A Just read the text without biases and you'll notice. It preaches to its own congregation, but looks like a simple stupid claim to anyone it might actually benefit.
