What are you "thinking" about? okulumo.gif

Wir können alles. Ausser hochdeutsch (We can do everything. Excluding standard German) rideto.gif

And by the way I would like to indicate that there are no Esperanto companies. Maybe this is why for over century it is not widely spoken. If someone is not made to know eo, they will not bother to lear it.
This. I'd really like to see somebody form a consulting company that shows big multinational corporations how to save money and speed things along by implementing Esperanto as an international language. EO has to be marketed as a product, in my opinion, if we want more people to take it seriously.

I'm personally against this. If E-o is to be promoted thru this method, by being used by corporations for profit, then E-o would only inherit the inequality and the "selfishness" of the current system. [I'm left-leaning, by the way.] E-o and English represents two different systems, like Zion and Sinai (pardon me!). I do not want to imagine, that there will be a time when the bosses could curse their employees in Esperanto, never! malgajo.gif

If the "fina venko" would only serve to perpetrate the status quo, then I'd better become a Raumist.

I'm not sure "commercialism" is the dirty word we like to make it. I remember the first time I used the internet back in 1987. Back then, one of the big debates was whether or not the net should be allowed to be used for commercial purposes. It is obvious who won the debate and it is now hard to remember a time when the internet wasn't commercialized. It certainly didn't harm it's propagation.

Yeah, I do not know the exact word, and I'm not referring to "commercialism". "Commodification" perhaps? What I'm saying is this: if E-o is to become a part of the current system, which is unjust and unfair, rather than an alternative, what will become of Esperantists and of the "interna ideo"? demando.gif
