That's completely wrong. You're fundamentally misunderstanding what the free software movement is about. Ultimately it's a sort of grassroots consumer protection movement, not a bunch of hippies trying to abolish money.
Stallman believes that you should vote with your feet and avoid using non-free software, and that if we all did this for everything there would be no space for non-free software in the market.
That doesn't mean that you can't sell software. The FSF has always sold copies of their software (I know because I've bought some). All of their licenses allow you to sell software, they consider any license that doesn't allow this to be non-free.

And this falls under the mantle of "consumer protection" how? Maybe a world with no non-free software would be better for me personally, or maybe it wouldn't (I think it probably wouldn't), but trying to create a world in which a particular product category doesn't exist doesn't exist isn't consumer protection.
[Silly counterexamples include: flamethrowing baby-cribs. Fine, abolishing flamethrowing baby cribs does count as consumer protection.]
I said "grassroots" consumer protection. He's suggesting that people that use software band together and collectively reject software under proprietary licenses. Because doing so creates a bigger market for free programs, and reduces the market for proprietary ones.
There are similar movements that advocate boycotting e.g. out of season fruit, or goods manufactured by oppressive countries.

They aren't trying to abolish money. However, they are trying to abolish the idea of making money selling software.

Stallman wants all copyright abolished, which would abolish commercial software. Stallman doesn't want freedom, he wants everyone to follow his rules. True freedom means we have a market of free and non-free software.

Which also allows the user to re-distribute the software for free. If companies did this, many wouldn't have a business any longer because anybody could legally get it for free.
