I mean, the death of the state is the end goal, but in a way where society is too advanced and educated to need it. I have a hard time imagining where central planning is decentralized over time, or if central planning can somehow operate in a stateless society.

This, more or less. Class oppression will disappear, which eliminates the state by definition. Some kind of governance/administration will still exist, and central planning will likely still exist, but all operations of the "government" (whatever form it takes) will be transparent and everyone involved will be subject to constant public scrutiny and the risk of replacement if they're ineffective. Some kind of law enforcement will also likely still exist, with similar transparency and democratic control

Only after achieving an international state free of reactionary *logies can the state begin to wither away imo.

yes, it's extremely unlikely to happen before imperialism has been eradicated
