Why Esparanto in not an international language.

To answer this question, we have to bear in mind the various functions of language. Apart from being a vehicle for communication of ideas and facts from one person to another, it is also the vehicle for shared experiences, shared thoughts and shared values. In short it is intimately connected with culture of the people. If language is the body, the culture is the soul. Without soul, the body has no meaning. Esparanto is just a mechanical means for tranport of ideas across cultural streams. It has no culture of its own. Not having sprung spontaneously from the people, as the normal languages have, it does not carry the rich experience which make a language worth pursuing. This is the reason that despite its scientific base, Esparanto has never been accepted in the world of languages.

Sorry, you have misspelled the name of a language about which you claim to have a view. Esperanto (note the spelling) is a fully functioning international language. Esperanto works! I've used it in speech and writing in about fifteen countries over recent years. I recommend it to any traveller, as a way of making friendly local contacts.
