The first one was JC. JC got twelve guys who firmly believed in His word and told them to go around the world spreading it. His idea was that if every man would embrace His word would leave in peace and wouldn't be getting to each others throat. They created an institution with the sole purpose of spreading His word. It worked quite alright for the last 2.000 years. Albeit some guys made some reform on it, some in the East are Orthodox but it worked.

Another one is Dr. Ludwig Zamenhof, Esperanto's creator. He was an oculist in Poland who hoped that the language he offered to the world in l897 would contribute to peace and understanding.

Then there is old Karl. Old Karl thought that it was work that mattered. So he called for all the workers of the world to unite. They wouldn't had anything to loose but their chains. He wanted all the workers the world over to takeover the means of production and establish a dictatorship of the proletariat. It got to a bad start. One of his followers used the German Postal system of an example of how things should be ran and tried in a farmer country instead of in a industrialized country as old K. Marx planned. The Russians got a raw deal on that one.

Addie, an Austrian from Braunau had an idea of global village where he would wipped out everyone who didn't belong to his "superior" race. Not many people -apart from the Germans thought it a good idea. Well, the Hungarians and the Finish bet on him but it didn't ended to their advantage. As you see, a global village has always been sought by several people. What we need now is someone to proclaim the Hegelian nation-state dead. That would be indeed post-Macluhan.
