You admit that the meaning of left and right are fluid throughout time and context. 
You insist upon left and right being determined by economic framework, however the contemporary meanings of left and right are not solely defined by economic systems, furthermore ideology is not reducible to a single aspect. 
It does not matter what definition academics come up with for a term, what matters is how people use the term in real life. In real life left and right aren't only about economic systems, but about an ideology as a whole. 
That being said, I believe left-right is too simplistic to fully encapsulate ideology, although it can be useful to determine enemy-friend distinction in some cases.
If you want to have clear communication you should use the terms socialist-capitalist instead, however you use left-right because that has more moral weight to people compared to socialist-capitalist.
