"A look at the recent history of a movement similar to Occupy -- the Spanish indignados or 15M movement -- can shed some light on the opportunities and urgency of the new phase of the Occupy movements in the USA.
There are three key elements that have made the global movements of 2011 so powerful and different:
The extraordinary capacity to include all types of people;
The impulse to move beyond traditional forms of the protest and contention, so as to create solutions for the problems identified;
The horizontal and directly participatory form they take."
