Theophanes at Distributed Republic suggests people arguing for free markets learn to tweak their terms. The basic recommendations:
1. Say "freed market" not "free market."
2. Avoid "capitalism" and "socialism."
3. Please, please, please, don't call it "anarcho-capitalism" or yourself an "anarcho-capitalist."
4. Support "de-monopolization" instead of "privatization."
If you hew to these rules I think you'll find it easier to tip-toe around people's prejudices and ingrained responses and slip dangerous ideas into their heads. Good luck!
