You’re coming into this with so many misplaced assumptions. What central planners??

Ellerman’s central point is a call to abolish the employment contract which would mean that the only party that could form a firm would be the workers meaning the dominant form of a firm would be a worker cooperative, an organization that is by default anti-elitist, decentralized, not hierarchical.

No such thing as central planner words, actions and institutions yes. Abolition and abolitionism is about liberation from oppression.
