What you are describing sounds an awful lot like socialism to me.

RUH ROH, the SOCIALISM buzzword has set off the alarm bells in your mind. RED ALERT! ALL CREWS TO BATTLESTATIONS! Cut the power to critical thinking, quick! WE GOT OURSELVES A SOCIALIST, ANNIE GET YER GUN. For fuck's sake, your brainwashing will cause me a migraine...

Yes, I am a social-anarchist / anarcho-socialist / libertarian socialist. It should sound like socialism. Socialism is compassion, in stark contrast to the ruthless and violent barbarism of capitalism.

How are you going to accomplish all this without central planning?

Decentralized planning. Local planning. Those affected by the decisions should be the ones making the decisions.

The fate of factory workers should not be decided by some foreign banksters or some far-off out of touch board of directors. The fate of soldiers should not be determined by some far-off politician, safe in his luxurious mansion.

Beliathon, if you could get off your high horse just for one second....
It's funny how you make it sound like I used a bad word when I mentioned "socialism". I never implied it was a bad thing. It was you who implied I somehow mocked you for being a socialist.
I merely was interested in the difference between socialism and anarcho-socialism.

And quite frankly I still don't understand what your philosophy has to do with anarchy. I mean your local planing is just another way to control people.
The decisions will be taken by the majority, they will overrule the minority. Therefore oppressing the minority. That's not anarchy.
