      Hippies never really had a revolutionary or radical ideology. Some did, but a lot were very individualistic and viewed themselves as breaking away from a conservative, repressive society in an individualized way with no real class consciousness or revolutionary program.

      Plus there weren't nearly as many hippies as the media then or now make it seem, and they were widely reviled by society. The boomers re-wrote history to make the hippies seem cooler than they were so they could claim some of that coolness by association.
