I would argue that the political/race/religious reasons are just cultural cover for resource stealing. Example, Russia just stole Crimea because a warm weather port is a rare resource in their region and benefits their various military strategies. Everything about "history justifies it," "Ukrainian Nazis were planning on killing everyone," and "they wanted us to liberate them" is propaganda.
Once you are post-scarcity, this kind of propaganda will be much less effective. It'll be more obvious its bullshit.
