Also try to avoid being offensive (although the temptation to do it is strong), or it will only trigger their irrational mood more quickly. Even the most stubborn people can be made to think if the conditions are right. So if you think of a way to say something without sounding like you're confronting the other person directly, it might work better and make them listen more carefully.

For example, when talking about anarchy, you can avoid saying "anarchy" and instead talk about mutual aid happening in countries devastated by storms, which can also take the conversation to climate change - a consequence of capitalism.

By inserting these subjects into a conversation, you're giving the person a new foundation for thought. If the person is to realize capitalism is bad, they will have to realize on their own, because you can't put an idea on someone's mind.
