I have learned a lot patience over the years when speaking with people who have the authoritarian mindset. I now understand that painting them into a corner with verbal jujitsu and trying to "win" the argument does not necessarily make converts for freedom.
People are mentally free to pursue whatever philosophical or ideological paths they want regardless of the logical strength of a philosophy. There are many more variables that go into what ideas people accept, and these variables all have to be considered before attempting to express the inherent beauty of anarchy.
Therefore, when communicating my thoughts to people I try to enter their system, or meet them where they are in life. Then I convey my connection to them and empathize with them on the points that we agree on. I believe this method works to help people change more quickly than beating people over the head with strict argumentation.
I also feel better after the discussion knowing that they did not shut down or become so defensive that they thought I was an egocentric asshole. It is this perceived arrogance that pushes people away from anarchists and makes them skeptical of the results of total freedom.
