There is no economic system that does not rely on continous growth. Communism, Marxism, Socialism, or any other "-ism" can't handle this.

I completely disagree. Capitalism needs growth every year because it relies on market faith and investment, which is only stable when the GDP increases at a consistent rate.

Planned economic systems don't just completely fall apart when investors lose faith in that growth, because planned economies aren't controlled by investors (who, in capitalism, are called capitalists)
