Babylon

In Rastafari, Babylon symbolizes a corrupt, oppressive system, often equated with Western capitalism, materialism, and exploitation. It represents societal structures that prioritize profit over people, trapping individuals in cycles of labour and consumption.
 
For Rastafarians, resisting Babylon involves rejecting materialism, fostering self-reliance and community, and seeking spiritual liberation, as capitalism is seen as dehumanizing and exploitative.
