Fair enough. "Planned society" was indeed too broad here. I think "paternalistic state" is more accurate.
I think that, almost by definition, if you support a traditional welfare state over a UBI, you want a paternalistic state. OR you think that industries like health care are best directly run by the state (because otherwise, a UBI would allow everyone to buy coverage in the private market, if they choose to). That's a planned economy there. And "the economy" is such an overwhelming portion of what we call a society, that a planned economy is effectively a planned society in my eyes.
