Only a small minority of "hippies" had any kind of altruistic motive or political goals. Overall, the movement was about partying, drinking, taking drugs and having a lot of sex. (And there's not a damn thing wrong with that - in fact, I think it is better to just have a good time and fuck than to try to impose socialist bullshit on America.) From everything I understand, that was what 90% of "hippies" were looking for, and the rest were radical activists and pseudo-Marxists who were closer in spirit to people like Abbie Hoffman and the Black Panthers and all the other woefully misguided "revolutionaries" than the true spirit of the hippie movement, which was ultimately centered on music and partying, not politics.
