Colonialism has always been driven by centralized interests. Whether they are after mineral resources, control of trade networks, or acquisition of productive land. It’s always the elite that seek to own, control and exploit.
Whether its the Muslims invading North Africa and the Balkans 500 years ago, or Israel invading Palestine today. They genocide and exploit the local populations for the benefit of the powerful elite.
Kings, Imams, Popes, Rabbis and Dictators are responsible for most of the bloodshed in the region by lying to and exploiting people’s trust.
You’re conflating centralization, which is a natural consequence of the advancement of production and industry, with the motives for profit and wealth accumulation in the property-owning classes. This conflation is undermining the core of your analysis.
