control a politically disinterested intermediary instead

Is this not the definition of an Oligarchy?

No. An oligarchy is a sort of “shared dictatorship”. The “disinterested intermediary” I refer to is, on the whole, businesses who will comply with whatever is required to stay in business, else they just won’t be in business; the businessman may grumble but he’ll comply, and the would-be rebel will comply by proxy.
