Planetary Colonialism is the stage that comes after planetary plunder. The global gets hyperscaled until it's embedded deeper in the earth itself, and I'd say the Chinese electrostate is blazing that path.
How the word moved
In Apr 2025 I first said "This is how planetary colonization works", watching international politics behave like a set of cartels. In Nov 2025, in the third PAPE essay, I named the stage properly and set Planetary Colonialism after Planetary Plunder.
In my words
"This is how planetary colonization works."
from Bhumics 12: The Pauper, Part 5 - The Receding Tide, 7 Apr 2025
"I call this the stage of Planetary Colonialism that succeeds the stage of Planetary Plunder"
from Bhumics: PAPE, Part 3, 6 Nov 2025

Still open
I admire the electrostate's speed and I call it the vanguard of planetary colonialism. Those two sit side by side and I haven't squared them.
