In a world like that, there's even less of a case for central planning than there is today.
Not true. There's a MASSIVE need for it, and your 'personal' means of production can't really be all that personal, because the situation would turn into an interplanetary hellscape real fast. Think about it - if the means of production is on a personal level, you're dealing with dudes who feel like subjecting entire planets to relativistic kinetic bombardment because their girlfriend dumped them.
No, state control will be required just to keep the whole species being wiped out by the far future equivalent of a school shooter when highschoolers can build weapons that make Tsar bomba look wimpy.
If technology is sufficient that a single teenager can bombard a planet, then the value of entire planets is minimal.
I doubt it. Bombarding a planet requires nothing more than some rocks and a means to direct them.
Rocks and hydrogen are abundant. Habitable environments are not. Honestly, we will be lucky if we even make it through a few centuries of asteroid mining, since doing just that would put a bunch of corporate drones in charge of robots that can put planet-killing rocks on deadly trajectories.
