Just the illusion of democracy is probably sufficient to keep the people passive. It takes more effort to simply take away their freedom and bludgeon them into submission than to give them a choice, a choice with the same conclusion.
That's what separates the corporatists of Nazi Germany and the corporatists of the US. Our corporatists use tactics that are more refined.
