I hope it will be of some use. I would like to address one concern I see in your argument, however. I think the point I was trying to get across is that any extension of demands which, while have been at best resistant to co-optation into the capitalist system, necessarily means the end of the Occupy movement. The union form is already enmeshed in capitalist social relations, and although that does not preclude that some sort of struggle take place within them, workers know that such limited struggles are limited by the unions themselves in addition to the capitalists. In light of capitalist decadence, I see really no worker struggle pushing forward any union (be it the IWW or something else), but rather having to go outside it as we’ve already seen in the events in Egypt and in Wisconsin. You can place as many demands on an ever-growing list, but no amount of calls for a general strike or the abolition of wage labor will make people confront the issue of production.

Best,
