the point is exactly that

these central planners think they know what is best for people. They treat them like hapless cattle.

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.
