In each of these changes, there were new technologies that drove the collapse of the existing systems of distribution, relations of production, and types of property.

I'd hesitate to use the word "drove" unless you also say that the process runs both ways: the rise and fall of systems of distribution, production, etc also drive the development of technology. It's not like technology's development is inevitable and independent of the mode of production - it's arguable that the rapid development of technology in the last few hundred years has been due to the drive for profit, whereas the relative stagnation of technology in feudal societies can be attributed to the binds feudalism places on accumulation.

That is to say, "drove" implies a one way process, whereas in reality the process is dialectical.
