Degrowth is an idea that critiques the global capitalist system which pursues growth at all costs, causing human exploitation and environmental destruction.

I have been able to better understand capitalism when there is another system to examine as an alternative.

I hate when people criticize capitalism because we all benefit unless we live in a remote, indigenous village and hunt for our food. Depending on a govenrment system is not the answer and there are so few systems that exist that have not benefitted from the abuse of land, animals or humans.
