I think non-party organization and action will have to be prior to party organization -- i.e., when a mass (electoral) party becomes necessary (which will coincide with its becoming possible) it will emerge from the work of the various organizations (local, regional, national) engaged in mass struggle. That kind of origin will also give the party's program a firmer grounding in concrete concerns revealed in practice. The program you suggest (including the etc. at the end) probably anticipates what kind of program would emerge from such a practice, but still at the present time it remains speculative:
