InactiveMachines that replaced human labor on assembly lines and factories?
I kinda thought of capitalism now, since politics made me think of communism, and that made me think of capitalism, but that is still kinda a conflict source.
All hail the Supreme Comrade Cossack!
Not quite. The answer is held within one word. A few people made closer guesses several posts back!

Bleach is used as a cleaner AND it can pollute.
EDIT: I took a more closer look, sounds like Drain-O

Nightmares are dreams that need re-coding.
Third and last passage, this one is more obvious. It's time to finish this!
Once a major driving force
I am now more specialized, more dedicated
Once a major conflict source
I am still going on, unyielding in my path
Once a major pollution source
I am now cleaner, sleeker
Once the source of steamy exchanges
I am still quietly aiming for my goals
Once the easiest mean of seeing the land
I am now challenged by the freedom of others
Once limited to my tracks
I am still going the same way as ever
What am I?

My guess is gonna be...
Trains

A winner is you!
Once a major driving force
I am now more specialized, more dedicated - Trains used to be the main mean of transportation over long distance, but now it's more often used on merchandises transport
Once a major conflict source
I am still going on, unyielding in my path - Train tracks on natives' lands, anyone?
Once a major pollution source
I am now cleaner, sleeker - Modern trains can run on electricity, making them much cleaner
Once the source of steamy exchanges
I am still quietly aiming for my goals - "Steamy exchanges" was all about steam trains, of course. 
Once the easiest mean of seeing the land
I am now challenged by the freedom of others - Trucks, which can reach more destinations easily, are fighting to get the market of goods transporation
Once limited to my tracks
I am still going the same way as ever - No matter the technology, old or new, a train is always bound by it's tracks!
Take it away, YZ!

As far as the farthest I can see,
my satisfaction swallows nearly everything.
Ancients and Mythics never halt my path,
unweary travelers always make me laugh.
I am a prison, I am a graveyard,
my feeding light always causes scars.
Where am I?

Dern, and I got quite close too on that one. The last verse indeed made things quite obvious.
And it may seem I am going out on a leg, but on YZ's one I am going to think about religion for a bit.
All hail the Supreme Comrade Cossack!
nope, try again.

I haven't had many ideas for this one yet. How about the Sahara?

And the Doc strikes again... good guess.
As far as the farthest I can see,
my satisfaction swallows nearly everything...THE SANDS OF TIME
Ancients and Mythics never halt my path,
unweary travelers always make me laugh...THE PHARAOHS AND SERVANTS ARE HIS PAWN
I am a prison, I am a graveyard,
my feeding light always causes scars...THIS RESPONDS TO THE HEAT IN GENERAL
Have at it captain.

Wow, that was a try by a long shot. Here's something from me, then!
Based on fiction,
I now have applications in reality.
The masses will crush you,
Doubled engines leading the way.

Dragons, they were said to be fictional, but look at the Komodo Dragon. As for the double engines, they could represent the wings.

A submarine then? Since I kinda doubt it is a car of all things. Wait, was the automobile featured in fiction long before it came to be, though?
All hail the Supreme Comrade Cossack!
Right, riddle.
No!

Honestly, I have the foggiest, perhaps one more line could help.

It's been over a week, get a second passage!
Based on fiction,
I now have applications in reality.
The masses will crush you,
Doubled engines leading the way.
I've been called cheap,
And yet I'm a force to be feared.
Your life is in danger,
But then, my own is at stake.

No, silly, I've already done that one.

No, it's not a shotgun.
Think, people, think! I said "based on fiction", this is an important lead.

Based on fiction... that's like everything at one point or another. That doesn't exactly narrow down the field of criteria.
Wild guess: the Hadron collider?
