As much as I'd still consider myself pro-market, some old anti-communist SF is a bit amusing these days. Like when a E. E. doc Smith major-interplanetary-CEO character snaps that an evil union leader is pulling in four times the CEO's salary.

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.
