To be clear, it makes more sense in a context where you think of Communist party leaders looting their countries for billions, which was a newer thing back then. And CEO salaries were a whooole lot smaller. So not at all a stupid passage in context. Just amusing in retrospect.

WHAT BOOK? Fictionalized commies are as amusing to me as hyper capitalists. The moderates run the world, whether we like it or not.

Is the Lensman series worth reading as an adult?

In themselves as stories they are a hard read today. Reading them as part of the cultural evolution of western fiction and trope-sources is more work but very worth it.
