Money has to come from somewhere and it is through taxes for many places at least. As for hippies I am rather ignorant on that topic. I know they were older SJWs and were about internal exploration whatever the hell that meant to them. They say it was a way to escape.
Money also forms the basis for economic calculation which is how a market allocates resources. Since money is one half of every transaction it is best that money itself arises out of the free market. Here is a video that describes what Mises wrote about in 1920.
As for the hippies they were trying to stay out of Vietnam, get stoned and laid while claiming the moral high ground. They also discovered one true thing about being a revolutionary and that is that the pay sucks. This fueled an envy of anyone who had anything they didn't have.
