    The hippies were always capitalist adjacent. Many of them became the Jesus freaks and yuppies.

    There were actual leftist movements happening at the time, but those were more of minorities beginning the discussions on how to actively demand power. Black power, gay liberation, women’s liberation, and American communism. Some of this did coincide with the tech hippies.
