Hippies, like socialists, went down with the share of wages in the nation's GDP:

By the end of the 1970s, Marxism and secular nationalism, as well as
communal counter-culture, had run out of steam, and those who still
pulled off revolutions at the tail end of the 70s, in Nicaragua and
Iran, did so on the basis of Marxism, nationalism, and religion (more
Marxism in ideology in Nicaragua than in Iran, more actual
socialization of means of production in Iran than in Nicaragua).
