Mike Parenti's piece in Boob Jubilee "Us Against Them In the Me Decade" gives a hint: when capital's mobilized against labour militancy, it's hard enough to survive, let alone bother with class theory and mobilization. And I have my doubts the "base" for the 60s was all that large or all that radicalized.

If the Russian one was so "hot", why did it stuff its head in the sand and "weaken itself" for a capital coup de grace?

Point of reflexivity.
But nobody's perfect . . . .
