Moloch is many sinister things in this excerpt, it shows no love to people in <em>Moloch the loveless, </em>it represents the bad side of capitalism -- we can see this in the passage <em>Moloch whose blood is running money</em> which means that the only thing it cares about is money. In <em>Moloch whose mind is pure machinery! W</em>e see that Moloch is the system that creates machines and industries, probably disregarding people and the environment.

It is the cold bureaucratic government in parts like <em>Moloch the crossbone soulless jailhouse and Congress of sorrows! Moloch whose buildings are judgment!</em>

Moloch  is also a war machine in <em>Moloch whose fingers are ten armies! Moloch whose breast is a cannibal dynamo! Moloch whose ear is a smoking tomb! </em>if we think that wars demand production and the selling of weapon it becomes easy to see how these Molochs represent one sinister cohesive thing, the desire for power, war and money.
