I think its fair to say that Occupy is rather post-modern in its construction.
That is to say that it is similar to Queer, in that its definition is the refusal of definition.
Such a movement cannot be co-opted by those with a structuralist agenda, as it is necessarily hostile to bullet points and hierarchical leadership structure.
The Tea Party was easily co-opted into partisan politics specifically because they structured their agenda, and could then be classified, used, and filed away conveniently by the media and in the public consciousness.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
