One Who Hopes.

This is the story of a man who had a vision.

His name was Ludovic.

He dreamed that if everyone spoke the same second language,

we could eliminate

war

genocide

racism

misunderstanding

(this is ludovic)

and so he devoted his life

to creating

esperanto

esperanto; [in esperanto] one who hopes.

(this is the flag of esperanto)

and while the the nazis outlawed esperanto in 1935 and tried to eradicate its speakers,

(hitler and his cronies)

and stalin went after them too...

(joseph stalin)

and the tides of nationalism and capitalism and individuality swept the world...

esperanto lives.

(this is the link to the esperanto conference in britain in 2011: http://www.skotlando.org/british-esperanto-congress/the-british-esperanto-congress-2011/about-our-congress/)

a universal language?

people have good ideas.
