Because it was one of the only time the "racists" and the "communists" (before they were called that) actually came together against the only people holding them down.

how can we start it back up again

Stop buying into petty, culture-war "Parade of Politics." This goes for both sides.

Normally yes - agreed and upvoted - but the current petty, culture-war "Parade of Politics" has ramifications that will make Occupy, protest, and rights in general a lot harder or more dangerous to fight for.

It seems shit to fight the politicians instead of the money driving them, but they don't intend to stay subservient to the money once the choices are gone.
