Normally I would not respond to such a post, but it seems like you're arguing in good faith. As such, I shall provide a rebuttal.
I suspect that you have not read 'The Road to Serfdom', because nowhere in the book does Hayek claim that economic planning 'inevitability' leads to tyranny. What Hayek actually argues is that government economic planning has a *tendency* to erode democratic and liberal norms, which may then develop into the emergence of totalitarian government.
As I'm sure you realise, the gulf between 'tendency' and 'inevitability', is an enormous one. As such, I see no reason to discuss the rest of your points, as they are all predicated on an understanding of Hayek's argument which is fatally flawed.
May I strongly suggest carefully reading books, before you attempt to form critiques of them.
I say this not to be rude, but to inspire you to re-evaluate your engagement with Hayek, and with literature which challenges your worldview more broadly.
