What is tendentious about "rendezvous" [a borrowing from the fur trade, if I'm not mistaken] or "Capitol" [Latin]? English is full of foreign borrowings. That's no problem. I am objecting to ideological words based on unsound thought -- the lexicon of Marxism, for instance. "Bourgeoisie," "the masses," "proletariat," and many more such terms are groupthink words that do not fit an individualist reality or the philosophy of liberty.

Well, okay. I didn't know what constituted 'phony' European words. You don't hear bourgeiosie much here (see, I can't even spell it. How dangerous could that be?) :)
