I just re-read the Pellucidar series, found ‘em in a used bookstore, all with the Frazetta covers.

I thought there was a lot of pretty conservative ideas I missed the first time around. Definitely would have got ERB vilified if he put it out today.

From wiki

The novel (Pirates of Venus) contains elements of political satire aimed at communism. The novel's villains, the Thorists, start a revolution in the nation of Vepaja for their own good only, cheating the uneducated masses and killing or driving away those doctors and other highly educated that form the foundation of the society. Throughout the book the Thorists remain distant and unreal, and those few that the hero Carson Napier meets are often stupid or incompetent.
