Move over, Bill Shakespeare. The whole world is no longer just a stage, and we merely players with our entrances and exits.

Today’s world is otherwise occupied, as people in over 1000 centers around the globe play their role, take their entrances and exits around platforms, portals and places- the Three P’s of 21st century movement politics-as in Occupy Wall Street. The city-based food movement is based on many similar principles, so city officials and food advocates should take a close look and wave their jazz fingers when they see an idea that can be adapted.

In the interconnected and webbed world created by the Internet, platform-providing, rather than content-promoting, organizations have come to the fore-as in Google, Yahoo and Facebook, some of the biggest, most powerful and richest businesses in the world.

As social movements catch up, community-based power will gravitate toward organizations featuring platforms, portals and places, rather than specific content-which is why the people who lament the lack of content in various occupations are out of it. Something is happening and you don’t know what it is, do you Mr. Jones.
