Ludwik Lejzer Zamenhof, a Jewish Polish-born physician and inventor, who became obsessed with the idea of creating an “international auxiliary language” that could be used by all nations, eliminating divisions caused by an inability to communicate efficiently. The language he came up with was Esperanto.
Despite great effort and widespread support, the Esperanto enterprise failed miserably, and Esperanto exists today only as a linguistic curiosity, spoken as a second language by scattered groups of aficionados around the western world.
Do you agree with Pini Dunner?

One issue is that no matter how great the chaotic language situation is in the world, many / most "elites" (for lack of a better term), i.e., professional linguists and government officials around the world, somehow, simply, do not take the matter of constructed international auxiliary languages seriously. Why this is, I myself have never completely understood. Advocates of Esperanto (or any other reasonably contending conIAL, such as Interlingua) have to struggle against this inertia (or even hostility). So I can understand the idea of Raŭmismo as a sort of a community withdrawing into itself in a hostile world, even if I do not agree.

If a volunteer-based cultural movement with no political backing or government funds can organise an international event on this scale - the 102nd in the series -, can it reasonably be called a "failure"?

Esperanto doesn't have the luxury of either and still it isn't a failure. It's almost a hobby now among pop-linguists to declare the failure of Esperanto. It's beyond boring.
