"in capitalism that you always need to have growth"

More like: "people want growth" so "there is growth" so "capitalism is the only economic system not at odds with reality."

There's a difference between what people want and the whole of "reality"; in a real universe, growth will never be limitless, no matter how much people want it to be.
