Is it not some differences between political (and, certainly, religious)ideas whether they demand global "rule" or not? Some may accept alternatives in other parts of the world, others not. In the later case there may be no way of enduring coexistence with others(?)

I'm sorry. Can you rephrase your question? It's a bit hard to ascertain precisely what you are asking.

Interesting question. Ideological debate really becomes a waste of time when confronted with the idea of simply dividing a respective region, if not the world, on ideological grounds. In some ways, this is actually already practiced on a communal level, not only in the official communes but also in mainstream society where people with similar worldviews tend to aggregate (what bacomes subcultures, political groups, etc.). However, these communes remain fundamentally part of the system that harbours them. This feeling of lack of fundamental self-determination might explain why many ideologues retain the wish to overthrow the system with their own while adopting a universalist approach in the process (the unresolved "us" versus "them" universalizes itself). The ideologue initially thinks that the struggle ceases once complete self-determination is acquired but, not before long, it will be discovered that it never can for the internal conditions that necessitate the establishment of a system will themselves contribute to it not being the desired one. One who regards himself as oppressed will remain so in every system, not least the one he establishes, while the free will always be free.

I don't think that any ideology is truly "global", regardless of what the ideologues in question think. Different ideas appeal not only to different people, but different peoples.

Actually my reason for discussing "global" versus "local" ideologues is more an interest in what they think, less what their ideologies "realy are about".
A hypothetical example: There is an idea, "X" about the "perfect way of life for all humans". According to "X-ideologues" everybody should do whatever necessary, including use of force to lead every human being to the right and perfect way, regardless of their wishes. It is hard to see how to avoid conflict with "X-ers" and the rest.
