Well more of a middle ground, something that ensures a good future is certain(maybe not the best possible one, but a good one none the less), while allowing others to make choices that affect their lives in the way they wish and historical events. However no one would be able to make the future do a total one eighty.

Also Lansker's civilization is basically a Neutral Good ubermensch civilization(much like the Persan are actually). Their actions could hardly be called selfish is there is very little in the way of selfish desire behind it. Also keep in mind that one of the alternatives is everyone getting devoured by the void, so this seems more justified. The basic motto of Lansker's civilization, to quote Issac Asimov, is "never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right".

Even if Lansker is successful in determining the future it does NOT mean people won't be able to make choices and affect their own lives and others. Freedom to determine your own fate will still exist.
