Interesting ideology from the Indian philosopher Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar.

Really, it sounds quite a lot like market socialism with some deviations.

I'm certainly sympathetic, but it sure does have a lot of contradictions within its philosophy. On the one hand, it wants decentralization, but then on the other, it's also world federalist and hierarchal because every council is also overseen by a "Supreme Council". How can you not create a hierarchy in society when it's lined up like that? 

Another issue I'd take with it is that one's wage being determined by the value of your work to society doesn't take into account people with disabilities, and also while it disdains the idea of wealth accumulation, it actually does promote it to some extent by granting extra perks to people who are deemed more meritorious. Who would determine that and what's to stop a system like that from eventually being abused?

I'm broadly sympathetic, but there are some real issues that I find contradictory and problematic.
