The Whore of Babylon is Capitalism

This is not in conflict with my prior posts on Mystery Babylon, but a separate aspect of what Mystery Babylon is.  So what I've said about how Revelation 17 relates to The Bride of Christ doctrine, and whether or not Revelation 18 is geographically linked to Mesopotamia remains the same.  This is about what the Sin of Mystery Babylon is.  Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that Capitalism is the Whoredom of Babylon.

I did a post on how the words translated Fornication and Fornicator refer to Prostitution.  They like the words for Whore/Harlot come from a root that means "to sell off".  People seek to justify their broader interpretations of those verses by saying how words related to Prostitution are sometimes used euphemistically for sexual promiscuity that isn't about money.  But the opposite euphemism is also used, people will say they feel like they're "whoring themselves out" to express the idea of "selling out".

Well if you break down Revelation 17 and 18 and look at the context outside of these "pronos" words.  There is not anything that implies sex, but a lot about economics, about buying and selling.

I've been expressing my opposition to Capitalism a lot lately on my other blog.  There are people like the YouTuber Renegade Cut who want to make any and all Futurist/Pre-Millenial views on Bible Prophecy seem inseparable from Right Wing politics.  And yet it is exactly a Futurist and Pre-Millennial view of Revelation that makes chapters 17 and 18 a blatant condemnation of Capitalism.  Also Post-Millennialism was invented to justify theocracy.

There is no labor going on in New Jerusalem, New Jerusalem is the return to Eden, it's a Communist Utopia.  The founder of Communism was Gerard Winstanly in the mid 1600s who certainly held a Pre-Millenial view of Revelation.  Communism is an inherently Christian ideology, it was in the 1700s that Atheists and Deists started forming a Secular version of it that was then further secularized by Karl Marx and the Bolsheviks.

Many of my fellow Anti-Capitalist might not like the implication of making Capitalism a Whore, they might prefer characterize Capitalism as a Pimp.  Well the thing is Porneia as an ancient Noun form of the word for Prostitution was associated with all people taking part in that Sin.  Babylon being called the "Mother of Harlots" may well imply she's a Madam rather then the Proletariat of Whoredom.
