Attempting to ascribe a single motive to billions of actions committed in millions of times and places under wildly various circumstances is not a way to find truth, although admittedly oversimplification is a mainstay of political thought.

I don’t think “about power” is a sufficiently small category that it means we can’t have a nuanced understanding of the different situations. There are defining features of anything. There have been billions of bachelors on this planet, but it isn’t over-general to say they were all unmarried (and I will straight up No True Scotsman any counterexamples to this analogy).
