"Free market," to which you're referring to, is as utopian as communism, its inherently premised on the idea of free, equal, (read: liberal) individuals, which has no basis in reality.

This is reading into what he said. Props to Marx for supposedly inventing the idea of Capitalism, but at the core it's really just economics. It doesn't imply belief in an idealized free market. Free just means not a planned economy. (I suppose buyers, sellers, and "Capitalists" are planning things though.)

I don’t know if there’s a word for this behavior, but it’s a staple of Marxist debate. They jump back and forth from the common definition of words to the technical or “jargon” definition. You caught a perfect example: “centrally planned” is a very specific idea in economics, but it is also a phrase made up of common words, and a bad actor (as all leftist debaters are) can use this fact to twist definitions and “win” arguments.
