i think it caused him to reconsider the parameters of disciplinary power - as the 68 revolts were against both soviet and capitalist regimes. i think also it is what inspired his tepid sense of what is to be done, so to speak, as the entire point was some sort of autonomous and direct composition of the social body, foucault wouldnt want to administer any official prescriptions... there is an interview he did with some students/workers around this period that covers it better.

The unions could easily have brought down the government. Bloody Soviet influence fucked it up.

Well Marxism and agency don't go very well together for one thing. 68 was an expression of immediacy and the power of spontaneity something that dialectic ridden marxism could never understand. Beyond that Foucault was always more incised by Nietzsche anyway.

I don't think too many people involved in the events thought the outcome was a success, accept for the labor unions and the official communist party. What seemed to be happening was the beginning of a true revolution, but what happened was simply a few more reforms. Lots of radicals felt betrayed by the unions and the communist party for conceding to the government in exchange for some minor pay raises and such.
